    OK here is my 2 cents and a bit of what happened to me through my pot smoking days.

    Like you I tried it when I was 16-17 and I honestly never liked it, but got busted being stoned a few times.
    My Parents talked to me, and I did listen, but didn't really see the whole point behind the meaning of the conversation that I do now. I am now 26 and a college graduate.
    Anyhow, my so called friends back then smoked pot day in and day out. I found out that they really weren't my friends, they just hung out with each other for dope smoking. I was the outcast in that group. These people did nothing but fuck up some very valuable years in my life. Some went to college with me and that's how I know this. Luckily I do have like 6 close friends, but we all live in different places so never see each other.
    Basically I am a loner, and I hate it. It sucks, but I don't feel I can trust anybody because of the way those people manipulated me and were such assholes.
    My point of telling you this is that I did not listen to my mom when I should have. She told me that "we are associated, with how we hang out with" and I hung out with dope smokers because throughout my life, before they started smoking pot, they were the only people that would accept me as a friend.
    I deeply regret not listening to my parents advice, and I feel like I am paying for it by being alone.
    I am not going to tell you what to do, because I am not your parents. but you are young, and have some great years ahead of you. Running away is certainly not the answer. (as already mentioned many times here). You have parents that are providing for you (food, bed, shelter) so they have your best interest at heart just like mine do, but I didn't listen when I was 16. Now at 26, I am on my own, paying bills and paying for my own food, and I am glad to be doing those things because that is life. I just have so much regret because I didn't listen to my parents. I will never get those 10 years back, but if I had known then what I know now.
    Best of luck and just remember coming from what I just shared up there that your parents only have your best interest at heart and it's never to early to start really understanding the meaning behind what they are trying to get us to see. I have gone to counseling, and I just recently started going back to church because I am trying so hard to better the life I feel that got so screwed up by not listening to my parents
    your story mirrors mine exactly... great advice! be careful who you choose to associate yourself with... your parents love you more than any group of friends ever could and you should be more worried about their interest than what your friends will think of you

    Last night something horrible happened. I has stoned... and my parents smelled it on me. They searched my room and found my stash. They talked to me a lot about it last night (none of it really sank in). Now i'm feeling like I really don't want to deal with this issue with my parents right now. Also, I recently bought a 500 dollar bicycle. I am seriously thinking about getting away for a while. I am 16, and I can't handle all this shit. I am thinking about just riding my bike away. Maybe for just a week. It seems theres no way to be able to deal with this... my parents are just preaching at me about God and I know its not gonna change me... and I am to change I have to change myself. God isn't gonna help me... so is this how i'm gonna have to help myself?

    eh, what'd you expect man? kids get busted smoking pot every day. i got busted 2-3 times. i know it seems like the end of the world, but it's not. it'll blow over. they're going to guilt the hell out of you, but it beat heading out on your own and getting anal raped when some crack heads see a sweet 16 year old boy's ass riding his bike down the wrong alley.

    i got busted twice. they guilt tripped the hell out of me. things were awkward at my house for a very long time. but it blows over.
