I need help with my 17 year old teenage son!?
Our 17 year old teenage son is totally out of control. He moved back in with his father and I When he was 14 due to a bad situation back home with him mother. He was left alone for a week at a time. He did horrible in school getting D's and F's. We took away privelages and grounded him sometimes months on end. He has been caught sleeping with 14 year old girls and to top it all off will disappear for days at a time and then come home like nothing has happened. He burns himself and has lost a lot of weight. He is 6 foot and only weighs maybe 145. He dropped out of school because either his friends did or graduated. They are all moving away. We tried to get him counseling and he ran away. We now think he is using drugs and he has refused a drug test. We want to kick him out. He will turn 18 in a few months. We are at our wits end and are desperate for any advice. Our son is on self destruct and we cant even force a drug test per the law of our state without HIS (?!?!?!) consent. HELP!

I'm a homeless college student, I have nowhere to go, please help? I'm 24 years old woman, law enforcement major with about 11 classes left. I was living at home with my mother til a week ago. Her husband is an abusive drunk both physically and verbally. A week ago he got in my face and yelled "you stupid dumb *****, thats what you are, a stupid dumb *****" in front my moms face. She didnt even defend me, so i left at my own will. Been living in cheap motels everynight since, but eventually my mom will run out living this way. I work at gamestop and still go to school. Despite going through what im going through, i manage to keep it from effecting school and work. But my mind and heart is running out. I dont know where to go, what to do, and how long i will survive this way. I will never succumb to drugs and liquor and the street life, but im afriad things wont get better. Where can i go for help? my job doesnt pay enough for me to get my own place. I been looking at studio apartments but most are 400 and up. I can afford something thats from 200-300 in rent but have no luck. All i have is my pet chinchilla that is like my son...and my 1992 honda civic that gets me from school to work. Help

Have a picture of you and her in your room or something and you will be fine. I watched a movie every night with a cup of hot choc and i just relaxed and though about how i bet my mum was having a fab time I know how you feel as i have been in the same position, but i had a great time with my friends and when she got back i was so happyyy. you could also arrange to talk on skype with her once a day after school too!!

What did your parents do when they caught you smoking weed?
Haha okay this still makes me laugh!I'd been smoking weed since I was around 11. I was about 13 and while I was looking for sand paper for a school project, I stumbled across a random seemingly empty coffee can. Curious, I peaked inside and found a rolled up sandwhich bag with green stuff in it. I unrolled it to check out it's contents and found an 8th of weed! I was so excited because at the time I didn't have any. So I dipped in and took a good size nug and put it back before I got caught!!I continued to randomly take some here and there. Making sure I didn't take a noticeable amount, and rolled it up how I thought it was. I did this for a few months, thinking how sneaky and awesome it was…Well one day I ran out so I want into the garage as usual to dip into my parents stash can. But this time, the lid had in black bold sharpie: “Gotcha!!!” and the coffee can was completely empty. I was so scared, I want out the side door and went for a very long walk to think of what excuses I could give them. Nothing was really going to work. So I get back home an hour or 2 later, hoping things would just be left unsaid. NOPE. Haha they were in the living room waiting. My heart was racing, my mind about to explode thinking of my punishment. Starting blushing and sweating. Finally after what seemed like hours of silent parents staring me down, they finally said:“we always roll the bag up differently everyday so we figured you were taking some when the roll wasn't right… you need to ASK us next time. Can't stop you obviously from smoking, so instead of STEALING it from us just ask please.”I sighed a huge breath of relief. “Yes! I'm off the hook!” I thought.“Oh Megann, by the way, your also grounded for 3 months… “Damn… haha almost! They couldn't have been more mellow and nice about it. Surprised the hell out of me that's for sure! They could've done locked me up and thrown away the key for WAY longer then what I got, so that was pretty cool.The same scenario played out almost exactly the same when I got caught stealing their cigarettes too. Haha after I got a job at 16 my mom agreed to just buy me my own pack as long as I payed for them myself.
