I would have keeled over and died of shock if my teenage son had ever confided in me about anything at all. He was VERY secretive. When he became an adult, he finally told me that he had experimented more than once with shrooms....after it was too late for me to do anything about it. I was shocked that he would do something like that.

@4meAndyou Sounds like you are a good mom. Your story is convincing. Teenagers are exactly like your son. They live in secrecy even when they have nothing to hide. Were you like that when you were a teenager? Or did you confide in your mom?
