My best friend's mom found his stash. It was some pretty big bs and privacy violation, she went searching thru his room like a maniac and found it. I'm not totally sure what the stimulus for the search was, he's been caught before, but just because he wasn't careful, and that happened at least a year ago. His parents a pretty crazy and are throwing a total hissy fit over it, saying he's grounded pretty much indefinitely and that they're gonna take him out of school if he does it again.
Anyway, the question is what should he do? He pretty much just told them he smoked weed because he's so tired of them being the most neurotic unreasonable people over stuff like this. It's not a big deal but they seem to think it is. He was thinking of running away for a couple of days, just to freak out his mom so she might forget about this crap a little. I didn't think that was such a good idea to exacerbate everything. I also couldn't sympathize totally cuz my parents a pretty nice and laid back
about this sort of thing. But his parents aren't. I think if he's reasonable enough and just says it isn't a big deal... that won't work. But I just don't get what he should do. I'm trying to advise him, but his parents just seem so crazy. I'm thinking the only option is don't get caught again, but the immediate problem of him being ground for a while is awful, regardless of all the long term crap. Is there anything he can do to placate them, get them off his back? Any advice is appreciated, and sorry this question is so long.
