Bad, bad idea.
Don't know how any of your parents deal with the situation, but it's been an ongoing huge fight in my house ever since my sister and I started partying this summer (she's 17 and still living at home, I'm 19 and moved out, thank god!)
My sis and I always lie to my parents whenever we party cuz we know they'll be so against it, but I HATE lying!! I want so much to be honest with them and I know they know anywayz (ya can't really hide the fact when ya come home with huge pupils and sleep all day on Sundays!)
So...tonite I called her and laid it alllll out for her: why I go, why I *love* raving so much, why I take xtc occasionally, responsibly, and in moderation... hoping she's gonna have an open mind about all this...
But no. She is very religious and has her ideas already completely formed and not open to change. Drugs are BAD. Staying out all night is EVIL. If you do drugs you must be trying to escape from reality and cover up your problems. She actually told me because I use xtc, I will end up being a heroin junkie (??????). Because I go to raves occasionally this also means I do nothing positive in my life and will go nowhere. She has said much more but no need for details, I've made my point.
She's trying to ship my sister (who's 17) off to a boarding school in Italy in 3 weeks to get her away from my evil "influence", she says I am nothing but a "problem" in our family... all because of raves!!
I thought I could talk to her and help her understand something that is such a big and important part of my life, something I *love* doing, and NOT for the drugs!! I guess I was wrong and have only made the situation worse for my sister at home.
I am so lost... is there any solution to the problem?
PLUR,
