Caught Up In Smoke

Caught Up In Smoke The worst decision I’ve ever made was smoking weed in my house and getting caught by my parents. When my parents caught me I got in serious trouble. I had to deal with a lot of consequences because of it. Maybe next time I’ll think twice before I smoke weed in my house. When my parents caught me smoking weed in my house I had to deal with various consequences. They first grounded me for a whole month. They made me do all sorts or ridicules chores around the house constantly. I couldn’t hangout with my friends or go outside to do anything remotely fun. After I did their entire repetitive request I had to stay in my room at all times, basically a prisoner of my house. I’ll be sure to never smoke weed in my house again. If you thought those consequences weren’t already bad enough your wrong. It wasn’t satisfying enough for my parents to just ground me for a month, they slowly started stripping me of everything fun in life. They first took away my car keys, then my cellphone. Then they took my one true pride and joy in life my Ps4, I Thought I was going to lose it then. If that was already bad enough they also took away my TV and Internet privileges. Now I know for sure that I will never ever smoke weed in my house again.

The worst decision I’ve made in my lifetime so far was smoking weed in my house. My first reason why I won’t do this ever again is because I don’t want to be grounded and be my parents house maid slave. My second reason is I never again want to be stripped of the finer things in life I enjoy on an everyday basis. Dealing with these devastating cruel consequences I swear to never smoke weed in my parents house every again.

    When I was younger I was playing with my sister and she ran up to me and asked me to push her on the swing so I did. After a few minutes I got tired and stopped and went in leaving her on the swing. When I came back out side she was tangled in the swing upside down I got in lots of trouble. I made that choice sort of unintentionally because I forgot she couldn’t get off the swing and I had to pee. I regret the decision now because every time I go to the park with my sister my parents remind me to take my 11 year old sister with me when I…

    One of my first dilemmas that I had gone through had occurred in 1998 when I was in high school. I had a friend who I knew was into marijuana. And they also knew that I did not agree with them using it. So one day at school my friend came up to me and told me he had two joints in his back pack for after school. I was stuck. On one hand this was my very close friend that I have known for years and I did not want him to get into trouble. But on the other hand I knew that what he was doing was wrong. So after a few hours of struggling to determine what I should do, I ended up talking to my older brother. He knew that my friend was into drugs and he knew how much it bothered me that he was. My brother also knew that my friend’s home life was extremely difficult financially and emotionally. So after talking for several minutes with my brother his advice was to talk to the vice principle about it and just keep my name out of it. I really did not want to get my friend into any serious trouble. But I also knew that the path he was on was going to eventually get him thrown in to jail or worse.…

    This would not be bad, if my father’s favorite framed picture was not on the wall. Additionally, my cousin and I kept throwing the balls on the wall, trying not to hit the picture. Well this time, I did not hit the picture, but my cousin did, and I was the one who got yelled at. My mother told me not to do it, but I did not listen, therefore, I was yelled at for being irresponsible. The framed picture fell off the wall and a corner was chipped. Afraid, my mother did not tell my father. Until this day, he still does not know how the corner was chipped. My mother gave me another spanking and told me she loved me and I needed to listen better. I have learned many valuable lessons in my…

    I’ve been using cannabis since the final week of my 13th year. I was actually the last of my inner circle to try it. One day two of my best (only) friends came into school acting goofier than usual. I asked them what they had been up to and sure enough, they had both just finished getting high for the first time. This terrified me. I was barely getting used to my newly grown body hair, while other kids my age were already engaging in the use of illegal substances. With my anti-drug propaganda filled mind and the D.A.R.E acronym still apart of my moral code, I looked down upon my friends. I told them that they were stupid and that smoking pot was stupid. Little did I know, I had no idea what I was talking about. After more thought on the subject, it hit me. What the hell did I know? Up to that point, I had spent the majority of my life wetting the bed. Who am I make judgments on something I’ve never tried, let alone other peoples lives? So I took off my D.A.R.E t-shirt for the last time and told my friends that I was interested in trying that weed nonsense they had been raving about. So we threw a sleepover at my place and snuck out of the house at around two in the morning. We walked to an empty tall-grassed field in my neighborhood and sat in the middle of it. We all agreed that if a car passed by, we would lay on our backs until the coast was clear.…

    This may not be as extreme as risking your life, but a common regret for many people such as myself, is not taking a chance due to the fact you may fail or embarrass yourself. But the thing is, if you never take the chance, you will never know how it would have turned out and it could be life changing! After reading Hamlet, every time I contemplate not doing or saying something due to the fear of failure or embarrassment, I take the chance anyways and honestly I have not looked back since.…

    It can cost you money and make you lose your family's trust and respect for you. I’ve learned to pick and choose my friends and think before I do anything wrong. Now that I’m a junior, I keep my circle small but I have a lot of friends that I still have around that are a good influences to me. I kinda struggle with my grades but I'm attending tutoring so my grades can go up and I can finish high school with A-G requirements. Now that I'm working it makes me feel proud that I can say I'm in school and make extra cash, so whenever I want something I don't need to depend on my parents. After this incident, I’ve grown into a smarter girl with bigger goals to take on. I no longer want to be “that cool little girl” anymore. This just makes me strive for even bigger accomplishments. I hope to pay off what I owe and still show my parents and everyone that I’ll be successful with/without them. It has also made me more independent and think of myself more than putting people before me. I’m planing on going to La Sierra University and follow my career into criminology and hopefully become a DEA agent. I know that if I keep this mind set I will grow into a young hardworking lady and be…
