Im 15 years of age and my parents left the house to go on a vacation Monday threw Thursday while they were gone a lot of things happened I stole 50$ worths of marijuana and sold it to make a little extra cash and I lost my telephone and I believe some guy I know stole it to sell it to support his addiction to many kinds of pills. I myself am not on any kind of drugs but my father ''Owner of the pot'' Thinks that the guy I was talking about came here and stole it because he has no idea of what I have been threw in my life when he had his back turned now I have to pay off 150$ to have my phone back ( including the warrenty) and pay off 500$ to get out of the contract. Another problem I have is I've curently started to smoke tabaco again and I want to get rid of this addiction but I really can't because Im stressed out by working two jobs and knowing my father is on my back like this and on top off that I owe a 100$ fine so what do you guys suggest I do in this situation

PS: Everyone my age from my town does drugs and things like that the other people who are a few years older than me probably won't ever accept me into their group because they think Im a drug addict

All I can say, because I can't really follow your post is that 'everyone is doing it' is a horrible reason to use for doing drugs.

I don't know what problem you really want resolved, there are consequences of poor choices and right now it sounds to me like you are about the king of poor choices. Stealing, drugs, irresponsiblity, untrustworthy all characteristics that are portrayed in your post.

Your father is the 'owner of the pot' that you stole to sell for cash... well it sounds like there is a cycle of dysfunction that you aren't trying to break.

If you have two jobs then I guess your responsible choice will be to continue to work off and pay your consequences. Other then that, I can't understand your post well enough for more appropriate feedback. Responsibility begins with you.

I agree with Justwantfair... PERFECT advise!

Where are you that you're 15 and working two jobs? When I was 15 I couldn't even get a work permit. Do you still go to school? If everyone in your town is doing drugs, I'd get an education and get the heck out of that town if I were you. And as for your phone, if it was stolen why don't you call your phone company and report it stolen? People I know who have had their phones lost or stolen have just called their phone companies and had it replaced, usually for free or very little.

I agree. As far as I know, it's illegal for someone your age to be working more than a certain number of hours a week. I couldn't find the exact number. I was working at 15 as well, but I was also emancipated. That's a great question--are you still in school?

I agree with jc about the phone. And why would you need to break a contract for a missing phone?

Alty, I was sort of thinking the same thing. It kind of sounds like parents trusted kid enough to be responsible for herself and the house, she took advantage of it, and wants us to get her off the hook. And she's playing herself up so she doesn't look like a screw up.

1: To everyone saying "how can you work like that at fifteen," I'd just like to say, how do we know she's not in another country with less strict labor laws? I'm not defending her, just stating a possibility.

2: About the phone: Some providers/contracts state that if you go over your minutes, it's like $5 per 10 minutes. I can understand this, as I have had my phone stolen, not enough money to get out of the contract, and the thief used over $200 of overtime before eventually ditching the phone. However, I was able to prove I wasn't in possession of the phone and get out of legal trouble... with a free new phone! ^_^

All you need to do is PROVE to the phone company you don't have the phone, which is Surprisingly simple. They will shut off the simcard and supply you with a new one, the longer you wait the more it may cost though (I don't know what provider you have)

3: I seriously DOUBT that EVERYONE is into drugs. In fact, I wouldn't even believe you if you said half of the kids your age was into drugs. The economy simply couldn't function that way. Plus, you said "the other people who are a few years older than me probably wont ever accept me into their group because they think Im a drug addict." Obviously, this isn't true, because, if you could get two jobs, older people aren't going to jump the gun assuming you have drug problems, or you wouldn't have been hired, twice.

4: Your problem, is you seem to think you can get out of the trouble you get yourself into, and then you realized you cannot.
My hypothesis is simple: You got into talking and overusing your phone time. You thought your father would bail you out of your contract. Instead, he left it up to you. You decided to steal his pot (which I believe) and sell it to make some money, which only made it worse, and got you into drugs. You hang out with the bad, smoking, pot head group of "friends" who got you into all of this. You won't rise above them and make something better for yourself. Your "jobs" are something under the table, possibly illegeal, that you blow all of your money on your addictions and idiot friends. And, now, you want the people here to get you out of trouble.
Sorry not going to happen.

Tell me, am I anywhere close to being right here?

Gosh, your fifteen. You shouldn't be on drugs in the first place. Who cares if everyone else is doing it? If everyone else jumped off a cliff would you do that too? Also, u should be in school, not doing two jobs. You need a childhood. And you need to get out of that town if everyone your age is doing it. Doesn't sound like you have good role models really. Sorry to be harsh, but yh. It doesn't seem right.
