It's been over a year since my HS friends lost their 18yo DD to a drug overdose. It makes me worry so much more about my 17yo DS than I think I would have had it not happened. Every time he goes out with friends I count the hours until he gets home. I talk a lot more about drugs with him than I think I would have too. It's just so freaking scary out there.

I have never ever tried drugs - not so much as a puff of a joint - but I think drugs should be legal.

I dropped out of school when I was 15. I was doing a lot of drugs and hanging out with a bad crowd. All my friends at the time dropped out after I did. Fast forward 20 years... I eventually went back to HS school, graduated, went to college and got my diploma, now have a decent well paying job, own my own house, have a great DD and am working on my degree P/T. As far as I am aware, none of my HS friends who dropped out after me, went back to school. I am proud of the life I made for myself.

If you're not for medical marijuana, you're forcing pharmaceutical drugs.

Seriously I could care less this women popped out a 14 lb kid with no drugs. I don't think she is some super mom who needs national coverage. I bet it took longer to sew her up than the pushing phase. Yeah sounds like a real win to me.

In my early 20's I was on a date when a man messed up on alcohol or drugs wandered into traffic on a major highway. There was no where for us to go. He hit our car. It was horrible. He looked dead at the scene, but somehow survived. A college friend who worked at the hospital told me the guy is a regular there. They knew him by name. If he died, I would be effed mentally through no fault of my own. I'm sorry for those of you who have been through similar experiences and worse. Life can change on a dime.

I had a love triangle in high school, and when I googled their names, 25 years later, I find they both have extensive prison records. Their mugshots were right there for the world to see. Him, her - I'm the only one who didn't end up incarcerated and some of the stuff they got arrested for - drugs, dui - are things I did but didn't get caught. Close calls and good luck and all but I was teetering on the edge of white trash felonhood.

I'm sending my eldest teen to live with his dad. I just can't take it anymore, he disappears for days, brings drugs into my home and refuses to follow the most basic rules. My confession? I don't feel bad.at.all. He was warned this would happen and I have other kids to think about.

BF's drug dealing douchebag roommate friends had $100 stolen from them this weekend, from inside of their house. They think I did it when I stopped over to pick him up this weekend. I didn't. They set themselves up for things like this to happen when they leave their front door unlocked for people to be over at all hours. Sidenote, BF isn't into drugs, an didn't know they were dealing when he moved in. He's stuck on the lease for a few more months and is trying to find a person to sublease so he can leave and avoid any legal trouble if they get busted.

FIL, your license is suspended, you don't have car insurance, you have warrants & you almost always have drugs on you. No, you can't borrow our car or our car seat & no, you can't take our toddler anywhere. If the cops pull you over, you're going to jail. I don't want her in the car with you when that happens. And no, telling stories about how "sexy" your 12 year-old neighbor looks in her swimsuit doesn't make you seem endearing - it makes you seem creepy & untrustworthy around little girls. I will never leave our toddler alone with you & I'm trying to limit her contact with you.
