My mom is stealing my medicine!?
I am 16 and am prescribed adderal for my A.D.D I also do online school from home, so the medicine really helps me to focus. I noticed a while back she steals some, a little at a time. Anyways, I hadn't been on it for a few months. I hate even having to take it because I know she is going to steal a majority of it anyways. A couple days ago she took me to the doctor to get a refill. My refill was 60 pills. I haven't taken any yet, so just a little bit ago I poured them all out and counted them. 53. I can't believe she is still doing this. I can't live with my dad because he is already taking care of my little brother and lives far from my friends and family. I can't confront her about it because last time I did that about her drinking habit she made it out to be the most disrespectful worst thing I could ever do. My mom and I have a great relationship. I'm just getting so fed up with this BS. I can't hide it because she's the one that pays for it so I can have it. What should I do?? This really breaks my heart...why would your own mother do this. :/
How can I stop stealing money from my parents?
Not bad, just being persuaded to much by your bad side. I used to be a kleptomaniac when I was a teenager. I've stolen over 10,000 dollars worth of things through out my life and I am not proud of it. This is how it started, I took money from my mothers purse. Then I started to take things from from stores, sewing pockets into sweat shirts for extra stuff and learning techniques. Eventually I was arrested. I was a juvenile at 14. Please don't let this happen to you. Just stop and go ask instead of taking. I'm sure your parents would be more then happy to give you money. It's way to addicting to get free things, I know, but it isn't right and will eventually get you into some real trouble.
My brother is a drug addict, and keeps stealing money from my parents, they bought a safe but he managed to steal from it, what should I do?
Ok. Unless you want your brother to end up dead, do not call the fucking police.Most hardcore addicts are EXTREMELY depressive, and that kind of betrayal from someone who is supposed to love them could very easily push them over the edge.One thing that you need to know about drug addiction is that it removes all basic logical thinking, and replaces it with “I need drugs or else.” You could sit there and try to reason it out in your head, why it’s right or wrong to steal from your parents, and the final word is going to be “I need drugs or else.”If you really, truly want to help your brother, you should plan an intervention, but NOT in the traditional, confrontational way. Do it in the form of a family outing, maybe in his honor. Then, while you're there, everyone should have something exreemely uplifting and affirming to tell him. As a former drug addict, I can tell you that one of my biggest fears was of my family finding out and rejecting me; casting me out like the piece of garbage I was.I’ve been completely clean for well over a year now. It took a long time, and a lot of love, but my life has changed. If you want your brother’s life to change for the better, love him. Get your family to pour love on him. He needs to feel like he has somewhere to turn when he’s hurting, and regardless of what you think, he clearly never has before. One of the reasons I started doing drugs was because I had experienced loss in my life and I was being asked to be the “strong one”.So don’t call the authorities. Go ahead and call NA, or Al-Anon if you need to, but your brother sees his need as more important than anyone else’s right now. You and your family absolutely CAN help change that, if you're willing to invest in him.
My sister has been stealing my medications?
I wouldn't rat out my younger sibling... I'd kick his ***. there are two things that an older sibling has to their advantage in situations like this. Trust and fear. First use fear. beat her *** then have a nice chat about NOT stealing your drugs. Then use trust Tell her how serious you are about this, that you care about her and this bothers you. And make sure she knows that if she does it again, you really won't have any choice but to tell your mother. (even if you won't rat her out, say you will, but make sure she understands that it isnt because you want to) Regardless she needs to know that she's been found out by you first. If you run and tell, you lose the trust element completely and in alot of ways, older siblings are more influential on kids than their parents are. If you want any sway to steer your sister in the right direction she has to know she can trust you to not sell her out.
My mom is stealing my medication?
So, I'm a 16-Year old Boy, My doctor prescribed me to Adderall, Because I have a Serious case of ADHD. since the first day taking it It helped me so much, because I had trouble making friends since i'm homeschooled and with ADHD it's hard, because people judge you, and this medicine helped me. When I first got my medication my mother had it and she keep it, Now sometimes I don't feel like taking it so, it was about a week or two, and I told my mom i wanted to take one. She looked in her medicine drawer, and couldn't find it... (there is alot of pill bottles in there, my mom has always been on alot of medication ever since when she was 18 she had cancer, about 5-6 months ago she had a seizure in the living room, I had to call 911 and it really scared me, She OD'd on one of her Medicines. Her doctor took her off of it and some other ones, Also ever since then she has been making friends with some known drug heads and it really worrys me.) ...Anyways I was like, WTF? How can you lose that? She said shes sorry she cant find it, and she will take me to get a refill the next day. I blew it off, whatever, I got my medication and I told her i'm keeping it with me. (I suspected she took them) Long story-Short I was missing 3-4Pills/Day I counted every night, and I only took 2 out of the 30. Eventually there was 0. I told my Sister (She's 21) She told me She's sorry, she doesn't know what to do, and to confront her. So I did, She said she SWEARS she didn't take them, and that she would take a test, blah blah blah. She started acting weird and making excuses and saying she swears to god she never took any. I said Okay.. We went up to the doctor and got a refill, She told me I should Hide them even and don't tell anyone, even her, where it is. I said okay and I counted my pills (30). I hid them in a VERY Hidden spot, a week past, and none was missing, Untill now. Just now I counted when I woke up, and I have 23. I only took ONE Since I got a refill, Which was the day I got them. I need help, I've talked to my sister, I have NOBODY else to go to, I don't have any friends.. It upsets me so much that she is doing this to me, because I NEED that medicine.. I don't know what else to do, The only way I know she is taking them is When i'm sleeping... Help me... Please.. Anyone...
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.
How can I punish my daughter for stealing my son's pain medication?
My 17 year old son is fighting osteosarcoma. For about the past two weeks he has been in excruciating pain. He is a tough kid, but the pain he has been experiencing lately has brought him to tears. It got so bad that we decided to take him to the hospital last night. When we went to the hospital a blood test showed that he didn't have any of his pain medication in his system. That was strange since he said he could have sworn he took his medication just 6 hours before the test was done (he keeps his medication by his bedside and takes it every 8 hours of he needs to). At that point my daughter finally confessed that she had switched out my son's pain medication for a similarly shaped and colored tablet that she found at a drug store. She sold the medication that she stole! I can't believe that she would do this and then watch her brother in so much pain without admitting what she did. Is there even a punishment severe enough for this? I already took every electronic that she has and I'm thinking about selling some of her things to show her what it is like to have something she "needs" taken away from her and sold.
