My nephew made his first friend in HS -- a junior who "uses and sells"

Now there's one way to overcome not wanting to eat. :smoke:

I'm on the phone with him now. He said all at once "I think I made my first friend and don't tell me that I can't be friends with him I'll figure it out for myself but, um, his name is Austin and he uses and sells."

I love this kid so much. :loveya:

1. Too bad I don't....

live near you. I would take him by the hand and lead him to the cemetary to introduce him to a few of my friends who "uses and sells".

Good Luck.

2. thank you, jschurchin, for throwing cold water all over my joy at how

cute my very smart -- and not a mindless follower -- newphew is. :eyes: You read a helluva lot in that wasn't there.

3. right on..

I think it's really cool that he would share that with you. :hi:

When I was in high school I was afraid to share anything with my family members :scared:

I hung out with some "users," still do. If it worries you, have a talk with him about "responsible using." My mum did that when she thought I was getting into all that (I wasn't yet) but I took it to heart and used what she taught me, and now, I don't even care for the stuff. :)

He must love you a lot!

4. I told him I didn't care if he smoked weed -- but that I thought he was

too young right now (15), and that if he ever did, I hoped he wouldn't do it all the time.

He does love me, Ariana, and I am very lucky indeed. He's a great kid. I'll see him a week from tomorrow and I can't wait.

I hope he still wants to be friends when he grows up. You know how that goes.

5. As long as you are understanding,

and it sure sounds like you are- I'm sure he will always want to be friends. :hug:

Having family that is also a friend is one of the best things you can have, I think. Enjoy your time with him next week! :D
