10 day suspension for my 16 year old…

I've been in your son's shoes. My dad was all over me about my marijuana use in high school, but I didn't have access to vapes back then...

My dad called me after a 311/Snoop Dogg concert and told me to come home immediately for a drug test... I got there and told him there was no point since I was high at the time. My dad's girlfriend found my stash hidden in my sock drawer when she was putting up some laundry.

I was eventually sent away to stay with my grandfather for a summer and I did hard labor for his church.

I'm a new father to a 5 year old and a 2 year old. I don't know how I'd handle the situation now... but I'd recommend that you show your kid all the love you have. When I was in high school, I'd engage in riskier and riskier behavior to do whatever I wanted. I wouldn't condone this behavior at 16, but you're gonna have to stay on top of it...
