Attends Community College has 1 (ONE) class (they were "all full"..)
wrecked every car he's driven (including 2 of mine & my wife's)
No savings (even though he pays no room and board)
All he wants to do is BMX bike at the skate park and play everquest.
Multiple run ins with 5.0 over riding BIKE in SKATE park..
also posession of 420 charges
He WAS an Olympic class/candidate swimmer (multiple national reportable times, some USA records in 15-18 boys class)
He started out high school with a 3.9 GPA as a freshman and had real possibility of scholarship in Ivy league or Academy school -threw that away of course.

Re: My son is a total pothead loser slacker, what should I do?
Honestly sir, I'm in a similar situation as your son, and I just want to tell you a couple of things.

#1. Our world is vastly different from when you were growing up. I would not recommend the military at this time, or anywhere in the near future. Perhaps when you were growing up, but we are about to enter an incredibly difficult time and I think it would better if you two stayed together. Even if that means keeping his pizza delivery job.

#2. Talk to your son. Be honest and patient with him. Try and find out what he is actually interested in. I can't tell you the number of times I wish my parents had just sat me down and asked me what i wanted to do with my life, or if I even wanted to go to college or what not.

#3. You need to be direct with him, but let him tell his side of the story. Let him explain himself, and try not to be stubborn and see his side of things, and why he does what he does.

Our geneartion is not going to have the 2 cars in the driveway and a 401K account. We are not going to have anything even somewhat close to what you and your friends had. Times are changing. Freedoms are being taken away and our Government is nearly completely infiltrated.

Sit down with your son and just talk to him. Listen to him.

It will do more than you could ever possibly know.

Re: My son is a total pothead loser slacker, what should I do?
I'm 20, male, working the exact same job, living free of charge in my parents house, driving a car my dad bought me. I used to have a World of Warcraft addiction, quit smoking a month ago but was on it heavy for about a year. I do still play Halo every day, I took a semester in college and dropped out due to WoW and not being interested in college. I constantly hear from my parents that this is the opposite of what they did at my age, and it makes me more angry, society looks at people like me as losers and pothead burnouts but I am starting to realize that i'm my own person and I am starting to become very philosophical and interested in psychology. I feel that weed helped open my eyes to the real world and how sick society is in stereotypes and judging others. Just because i'm not in a 4 year studying some major I probably REALLY don't have an interest in doesn't mean i'm not an intelligent human being.

I am telling you right now kicking him out will NOT benefit him at all, he will most likely move into a friends house or sleep in his car and this will lead to severe depression/suicide and more drug use possibly harder drugs. He will start to steal and fall into a life of crime because he has no other choice. It's very difficult to be motivated when you live in the comfort of your loving parents home with everything handed to you. And our generation is starting to see that a life working for the system is a lie and not true happiness, which causes us to rebel and not want to be like our parents. Whether this is right or wrong I feel that I am not in the right place to decide, I am just saying this being in a VERY similar place as your son. We aren't mad at you, we don't hate you, we are just comfortable living life like this and enjoy smoking with friends and just don't want to grow up as fast as you did, and when we look at this attitude we say to ourselves, "who decided the growing up age, what is growing up, why do I need to, I could live like this the rest of my life and die happy." It's sad but true.

Re: My son is a total pothead loser slacker, what should I do?
Dad,
I'm 20 years old. I have a job. Do you know how many don't have jobs? I have one. Does that mean anything? It doesn't pay what you think I should make, but I perform an important service, cooking for others, delivering their food.

It gives me money to do what I want. Do you know what I want, Dad? Do you care what I want?

I don't want to join the military. I think it's wrong to kill people because someone tells me to.

So I smoke a little, snort a little. I want to enjoy life and not think about all the problems, the wrongs, the injustice, the hypocrisy.

Sure I've been busted for drugs. I don't think the laws are fair, necessary, or even legal. Should I set out to change that? Would that embarrass a military man?

Do you see what the world is like? How long will it go on? Wouldn't you like to enjoy it while it lasts?

I don't save. Why should I give the bank my money, knowing they may steal it like they've stolen everything else they can get their hands on.

I took a class for you, Dad. Did you know it was for you? I don't want to go to college, don't want to join the military, don't want to have 6 figures in the bank. But I took the class. It was saying, I love you, in a way I can't verbalize.

I don't know yet what I want, but know clearly what I don't want. I'm 20 Dad. Only 20. Maybe some day I'll be as wise as you. Maybe I'll even make some of the choices you made, but until then, help me find myself.

I'm sorry about your cars. You know I'm sorry. I'm sorry you feel the way you do. But know this, Dad. I love you. And would love nothing more than having the love returned.
Love,
Your Son

It was sentimental and weak attitudes like this that weakened and ultimately destroyed the Third Reich.

In the New World there will be no family, no fathers and no sons, only obedient workers living in The Collective being tutored all of their lives on how to support and contribute to the wellfare of the wellfare-state, and it's owners.

Thanks for the New World, dad. Now put that in your sons pipe, and smoke it.

wow thats so typical of a kid in this generation. ur not even from that country probably anyway, ur just scared of ppl finding out whre u really live. how could u speak english then? but anyways check it out, why r u being so insulting to this father? hes trying to help out his son and make him have a successful life. obviously u dont have any kids or any empathy for others, or u could see that what this father is doing is what any father should do. with this new generation, the kids tell the parents what to do. wtf? the parents have been on this earth for much longer than us kids, and so dont u think they might know just a little bit more than us? that they might have just a little bit more experience, cuz they already lived through the same issues when they were growing up? not much has changed in the history of mankind, so we should listen to what older ppl have to say abotu growing up cuz they've been there, done that, and we kid just think we know it all. i totally agree with this father, and the fact that all the ppl on this forum are shitting on him for expressing a need to help his son stop his unhealthy habits, justs shows me even more how much this generation is a bunch of lazy burnout fucks.

wow ur obvously not ACTUALLY this guys son. fuckin internet ppl think they can be whoever they want on the internet becuase they dont have to show there face. well even if this was the son speaking, the post wouldve been resolved and taken down by the father out of saying sorry to his son, and also ppl wouldnt still be commenting on it. anyways, ur just posing as his son to try to make him feel bad, and hey fuck you! ur a fucking loser. what u said was stupid anyways. u 'took a class to make ur dad love you'? dumbass! take a class becuase u need to because u have to get a job! holy crap! u know what all anyone cares about anymore is feeling good until the day that they die. just feeling hapiness. well u know what if everyone thinks like that and lives by that philosophy, then the world IS gonna end soon. check it out, did einstein live by that philosophy? thomas edison? obama? did any famous successful ppl live by just trying to feel good until they die? hell no! if ppl lived like that we would never have a computer to post stupid comments on, much less a lightblub or a telephone or structured houses. this world is headed into the shitter, becuase ppl have become so goddaman selfish. its not about helping the world anymore, its just about getting high and doing "what i want". its become the world of the individual. everyones alone all the time in front of a compute screen, in front of a tv screen, or smoking by themself in their basement. this isnt gonna help the world, so at this point ur are just a drain on society man. to the real son i gotta say: just get a life and start contrubuting to the world, or ppl (and ur dad especially) will stop caring what u do and let u ruin ur life by yourself. i just hope that this son doesnt choke on his own vomit or something. (i know it doesnt say he drinks in this article, but he probably experiments with other stuff like every kid nowadays).

You and your type are all the same, u push your will on everyone. You r not special and neither are your attitudes. Your son probably has a endocanabinoid deficiency. But you wouldnt know anything about that because u r so smart.
