It's all downhill from here

By Anonymous - 06/10/2022 10:00 - United Kingdom - Farnborough

Today, my parents searched my room because yesterday they found one of my friends vapes in my bag, which they made me return. Sadly, they found a box vape with 2 e-juices and gave me a talking to. So now, I'm never allowed out of the house until I'm 18 (I'm 14 right now) and I'm never allowed friends over. Also, they're really mean. FML

Don't e-vape... I mean it is to help people quit smoking cigarettes. and vaping pot is meant to keep it small form and cut out the combustion which creates carcinogens. Over all it is to help reduce possibility of cancer and damage of the lungs and throat. teenagers vaping to look cool is real dumb. there is still risk to it, and you aren't getting the intended benefits, just people oatting eachother on the back for who sucks the biggest E-dong...

Seeing this is not from USA, but just across the pond in UK I have to ask, why on earth you thought you'll get anything less? There could have been two more options, parents kicking you out and saying take responsibility for your actions, or they not reacting at all, not giving you any direction or guidance and two years from now we will read on news about a 16 year old beating his parents because of cigs, grounding, ending up in juvenile detention center Every illegal action that your parents to not bring to police will be handled at home by giving you consequences to live with. I'm ashamed that 14 year old doesn't understand these boundaries and is upset because of result. But you would be okay causing fines and troubles for your parents. F your parents life. At 14 you could easily leave home, if you know better, but remember leaving so early has consequences where nobody owes you anything and you might end up in jail, gangs, streets, homeless, dead and All because you want to participate in illegal activities and your stupid parents trying to stop you from being cool. I feel sorry for your parents, must be terrible feeling. As for you could you not suck it up for a year or two, finish your studies, make better friends and then at 16 wave everyone off and do whatever you want. Currently you don't even live up to age of 14 maturity. Embarrassing.

In the UK, you must be 18 years old or above to use and purchase vaping products...

It's funny this is such a supportive community but underage smoking is a big nope.

Vaping is dumb, and terrible to your Heath. Lying to your parents is dumber. You think they weren’t going to find out? Thank them for doing you a favor, and quit now before you **** up your life.

they're not going to actually keep you grounded for 4 years. but as a parent myself, damn right you're grounded. you are 14 you have no business smoking or vaping. you're a child. it's not cool it's not funny. do your damn homework and stop ruining your life trying to be grown up. you don't wanna be a grown up, it sucks

Your parents might be mean, but they're right about the vaping. Cigarettes, vaping, they're terrible for you. I started smoking at your age, fourteen, and I wasn't able to quit for another fourteen years. Wrecked my breathing, ruined my teeth. You probably won't listen to this, because of course I didn't at fourteen either, but you're better off without it. It's a sink of time and money and health. Honestly I am shaking my head writing this, because I sound like an anti-smoking advertisement. My fourteen year old self is rolling his eyes at thirty three year old me.

The world needs more "mean parents" that actually have your best interests in heart. Whether it's your "friends" or not, you did have it in your possession. Your parents could get in a lot of trouble for you having these things being underage. perhaps think about your choice of friends if it was really theirs...you got in trouble for it & your parents could have been in trouble too. is this really all worth keeping this friend or keeping their underage belongings in your underage possession? I wish you & your parents best of luck. They're doing you a favor keeping you grounded at home. Until you're old enough to make those decisions for yourself. So you don't get yourself or them in any trouble. Juvi isn't a great place to be. You don't want to screw up your life or your relationship with your parents over some vape pens & juices.

Yeah, it probably feels like they're really mean right now. Wait a bit, let the dust settle, and calmly explain what happened and that it wasn't yours, and that you don't want to vape. You're probably in trouble, but I doubt you're actually grounded for four years. They're just upset; let them calm down and talk to them reasonably, and they'll probably listen.

What was your friends vape doing in your bag in the first place? Are you really expecting the internet to fall for the "I was just holding it for a friend" defence? Most of us can see through that nonsense just as well as your parents can.
