Tell my sister?

I have told my older brother and sister about my drug use as I already know that they have taken drugs, therefore I have the confidence to tell them freely. I am pretty close to my younger sister as we are of similar age and I would like your opinion on if I should tell her or not? I think this would also be good if I did tell her because even though she is young now, she may not be as educated as I am about drugs (if she plans on taking them in the future) and I would like her to have the confidence to tell me if she were to take drugs.

Any thoughts?

Andy.
 
I have a younger sister(only by 2 years) and I haven't told her of my use simply because she hasn't asked. I feel like you should be honest with people when they ask you, but just because you don't run out and tell her about your use doesn't mean you are hiding anything.
 
I would tell her. An open, honest relationship with siblings is best. And this will hopefully mean that she is a little more educated and will come to you in the future if she does decide to experiment. I'm sure you'd rather she came to you other than strange people she doesn't know very well that will/would probably take advantage of her.
 
whether if you like it or not, if she was concerned she would proly say something. like if your just smoking weed, she might not, but lets say your like and are slamming H then she will maybe say something. or maybe not it just depends on your sister. but if you feel comfortable with telling her secrets and are close, then go for it.
 
I think telling her outright might be a bad idea because if she is of a young age and respects you, then she may be easily influenced. However, if you started to suspect she was getting into drugs herself, then by all means talking to her and providing some education would be a great thing.

Yeah, me and my sister only have a small gap of three years, and if she did ask me anything along the lines of my drug use I will definitely tell her the truth as an honest relationship with siblings is most probably the best one as Sugar28 said.

@Dr. Kush & bronson - This is my biggest worry as I wouldn't want to her to think I am a bad influence on her or something like that, even though she is open minded about things and I find she is also similar to me in this way.
 
psh, this is not a call people can make for you. just as a rule of thumb that is not even close to true in all situations, if people i know do not use drugs themselves, i don't make a point of mentioning to them that I do. she has taken drugs? does that mean she uses something?

how old are you guys?

and this is Drug Culture fo sho.
 
It all depends on the relationship you have with your sister & if you can truly trust her. I recently told my sister about things I've done and she was interested in smoking with me. Had the best time with her. :-)

Your call, bro.

Glad you had a good time =~) - I do trust my sister and the main reason why I want to tell her is so it will be much safer for her if she wishes to experiment as I already have some experience with drugs.

Chances are, she will experiment at some point. You could definitely be a good mentor and guide. You could tell her about your bad and good experiences. It would probably be a good idea since you have that trust. :-)

However, the only negative is that she might feel more comfortable experimenting sooner. If she honestly tells you she hasn't, then emphasize that it is a personal choice and to not go out of her way to as a result of the experiences you shared with her.

I really don't think she will experiment sooner, although you are right in saying she may feel more comfortable doing it sooner. I will definitely give her as much information as I possibly can and also suggest BL if she demands more useful information.

Thanks for the replies guys!
 
It would depend what age you guys are, you seem quite young. Do you want to be responsible for her getting addicted to something or even worse never respect you again? Honestly keep that to yourself.
 
My sister is 13 at the moment, I know she is very uneducated about drugs. When should I give her the talk?
 
i would be wary of telling family about drug use, youll get funny side looks and now they know your secret, arrrrrrrgh. too many negatives to compare to positives.
