Hello, I am new here. Was looking for a site for moms with teenagers and found this one. I too just had a first time situation with my 15yr son. Who has never got in trouble in school, never had calls teachers complaining about his behavior his whole life up until he reached HS. Recently, the school called me and they took him to ER, only to find out he had overdosed on marijuana 😟 you could imagine my reaction when I got the call from the principal at school. I rushed to the hospital, a bunch of test was done on him (because at first his story, someone drugged his drink in school) it wasn’t until we did a urine test. It came positive for marijuana. I couldn’t believe it, my own son, mind you before spring break finished we had a talk on drugs. He informed he has never done it nor will he ever. I was more shocked and couldn’t believe the test results. Long story short, he stood by his story past 10 days until I said enough is enough. Went back to how my parents raised me. Punishment with the good belt, he confessed “he took a brownie” I don’t think I see my son the same after that. I don’t know what, or how to be now. Yes, I spanked him. But does that mean he won’t do it again. I have kept him home since the incident and will start homeschool from this point on until I can trust him again. What did I miss ? How come I didn’t see it ? His excuse “peer pressure” “everyone in the school is doing it” his behavior didn’t change much maybe that’s how I didn’t notice it. Should I get him help or take him to rehab ? Big sigh 😔
