I wanted to keep it a secret from my parents that I am an E user, but six weeks after I'd taken my first, they knew!
Mum rooted around in my room and found a list of things I'd written when I was rolling the first time, and went to my brother to give him a bollocking for introducing me to drugs. She didn't say a word to me about it, neither did dad, but my brother told me what had happened, this is how I know.
Mum and dad are keeping quiet that they know, I've no idea why, but they want me to think they don't know. Which is fine by me, it means I can do these things right under their noses. So long as I don't leave any cold hard evidence around (literature, drugs etc), they can't say a thing and I dont' have to be overly careful with where I go/what I do etc.
As far as other people go, I tend to mention or hint at my drug use fairly early on as I'm in the honeymoon stage of E use still and will be using others in the future, and I don't want friends who are too narrow minded to accept me for that. I've tried having friends who think that `ecstacy kills you` but I just can't open up to someone who hasn't got the sense to look into something rather than just remain ignorant and terrified.
