I'm fifteen and for the last year and a half I've been smoking pot. I don't want to quit but I want to do good in school and I'm not smart at all... I do my homework everynite but my test and quiz grades are so incredibly low it's a calendar grade. I started cheating this year because everything now counts for collage and the rest of my life and stuff and ever since I started cheating I've been getting 80's 90's and 100's on everything. My grades are all A's and B's except for math (you can't cheat in math, you either no it or you dont) I'm getting a D.. Its becoming a visious cycle though, I wasn't smart so I started cheating, and since I started cheating I'm not smart.(well as smart as I used to be)
So my question is what are like the long term effects for this? I guess I'm just asking for advice on maybe how to stop or if its sort of okay.. I don't know

**ive tried tuturing before and it doesn't help that much because I get frusterated easily since its one on one so we only go over I don't know and I hate feeling stupid

The long term effects are worse brain function... maybe by the time you turn 30 you will be as brain dead as three of my friends that can't remember anything! Two of them (all in their 40's) ask me 20 times each "where are we going again?" when I am driving them down the street to the grocery store. I have to literally do the majority of thinking for two of them. It is mostly from their drinking and smoking pot.
Some people say they have smoked pot "all their life and it hasn't effected them" but if it is effecting your memory it only gets worse never better unless you change your ways. If you want to continue down this road you can look forward to not much more than trying to survive, a dead end life that doesn't hold much to look forward to, nursing home and maybe early death.

You are 15, doing pot, want to do LSD and mushrooms, you were raped yet want to have sex with your boyfriend... now you are asking us to tell you how to cheat at school? Get serious!!

I will agree with J9 stop hanging out with any drug users what so ever, start getting new tutors, start studying more, spend less time with a boyfrined that wants to have sex at this early part of your life, and do what is important your studies. You may not be a student but you are a nothing student if you are cheating, that is worst than C and D on your own.

Ok, first of all I want to talk to you about the drugs. I've looked at some of your other posts, and I can tell that you have had a really tough time lately. When traumatic events happen, sometimes people turn to drugs because they think they make them feel better. In reality, the sense of feeling better is false, and in the end these people end up more depressed because of the drug use. You need to address the drug issue right away. If you keep using, not only will you be potentially damaging your body, but you will have wasted time, put yourself in bad situations and places, and wasted money. Not to mention that marijuana is often considered the "gateway drug" because people can get curious about other drugs. You are already using prescription drugs, and now you are curious about mushrooms and LSD (which are absolute poison and VERY damaging to your body!! ) I think you need to work on kicking the habit and getting sober. I think you should talk to your parents/guardians. If you don't want to talk to them, talk to your school guidance counselor or nurse. It can be scary to ask these people for help for drug addictions, especially if you don't know them well. But, that is why those people are there -to help. If you tell them that you need help quitting weed/pills, they won't be angry with you or yell at you. They won't have you arrested. What they will do is put you in touch with groups that can help you, get you a counselor you can talk to about the drug addiction and past events in your life, and work with you and your folks to create a support system for you. They won't tell other kids that you are using. If you don't quit using the drugs now, you are setting yourself up for a downward spiral as you get older.
Second, here's the thing with cheating. You might be getting better grades on tests right now. But, what happens when you have to take the graduation qualifying exams or the SATs/ACTs? Cheating may be getting you by right now, but in the long run, you won't be able to keep up the act. Not to mention that, sooner or later, you will either get caught or someone will tell on you. Then you will have disciplinary issues at school as well as problems with grades. I think that you should give the tutoring another shot. Make up a list of things you need help with before you go. Tell the person how you learn and remember things. For example, if I write something down, I will remember it. But, if I read over it once, I probably won't. That's just what works for me. Everyone learns differently. With some of the stuff that has happened to you, do you think depression might be the cause of some of your problems? I think if you talk to your doctor/parents and give them the big picture of what all is going on in your life, they will be able to get you some help. Please consider giving counseling a try.

I'm not trying to boss you around or preach at you or anything, honey. I just know what it is like to be overwhelmed by life, and this is just my opinion of what might help. I know you have it in you to stay sober. It is very important to have people supporting you while you are trying to quit drugs. Good luck to you and God bless! :)

Do something with your life. Stop messing it up; you only get one life!

Shenanigans much?
