Would you tell the parents?
Answered 4 years ago
My 15 year old son stopped hanging around with his mates about 8 months ago. They had been friends since primary school so I was a little surprised. He slowly started declining offers of sleepovers or hang outs. He’s just told me now that the reason he left the group was because they were smoking pot on a regular basis, buying the stuff from older kids at school. My son didn’t want to get involved. I’m still friends with the mums of these boys, not great friends since the split but I’ve known them for years. Should I say something?

She has a valid point.. The end of a friendship is one thing, the aftermath of you telling his ex mates mum he does pot is a whole different story

If it were speed or heroin i may get involved, but not pot, sooooo many people smoke it, it will be legal soon too, its not a big deal at all.

God no dont tell. Think of your son. Teenagers are awful the whole year will probably start calling him snitch, he'll be bullied for sure.

You will label your son a snitch for life!!!!! Don’t do this too him!
My mother used to be all oh you can be honest with me and we will sort things out, I told her about a few things that went down at a party, I wanted advice. she didn’t need to ground me (although part of the being honest to get help sorting shit out deal was not getting in trouble) because I never got invited anywhere ever again! Ever! My entire high school lifetime. I didn’t make friends again until I moved overseas for a gap year!
There is no doubt more to the story, just stay the fuck out of it.

There’s no more to the story. It was simple. He didn’t want to smoke weed. The end.

OP you must be so proud of your son for making good choices and distancing himself from people and situations that aren't the best for him👍

If he is fact telling the whole truth. I used to tell my Mum all about the bad stuff my friends/ex friends were doing, i just left out the parts where i was doing the wrong thing. It was the perfect cover.

Drop a note in the letter box saying...
Hey (Insert child's name) just dropped over to give you the weed you wanted but you weren't here. Hopefully you and (insert mates names) are enjoying my product. If you ever need anything stronger like ice of pills just let me know I'll be a friend for life. Mr drug dealer.
P.S I hope your parents don't drug test you or find this note before you do.

Report to the school. Not the mum. Chances are the school are aware of the situation but struggle to do anything

Nope. Do not tell them, and that's for your son's benefit. it will likely blow back on him. You don't want that.

That's tricky, how well do you know the other mum's? Are they likely to tell their kids who told on them? You need to consider the impact on your son. But on the other hand I would want to know.

If it was me, I'd stay out of it. They're teenagers doing what teenagers do, rebelling and finding their way in the world. If you go sticking your nose in, it could have negative impacts on your son. In my experience the parents often already know and just want to ignore it. Hell I've known lots of parents who don't care as long as the kids are still doing well in school and don't carry on like turds about it.
