Are you absolutely certain it's a bong and not one of those vacuum penis enlargers? :Big Laugh

Keep an eye out for hypodermic needles. That's when it gets serious.

Take it and replace it with a note that you love him very much and when he' s ready to talk to you about it you are there for him.

Yeah, the kid is nearly 20. He has eyes, ears and a thought process. He's also probably set in a lot of his ways already. Formative years are when we're very young. By 11 or 12, the mold is complete.
When I was a kid, my parents would confront me almost instantly about anything out of line, BUT they never found anything in my room because that was MY place. They respected my rights and privacy and taught me to respect others rights. As for the obvious, now that was open to discussion.
When my stepson was a kid, he was treated like an adult and taught to think for himself. He was told what he did wrong and then expected never to repeat his wrong doings. Yeah..... right. That was before I came along. He was 18 when I married his Mom. Anyway, he still has some bad habits, but then, who doesn't. He graduated college and has a state job, just not making good money, but he turned out basically a good person.

Handle it the way you think your kid will receive it without turning him away, but remember.... you're setting an example for him to follow...... so be honest. Good Luck....!!

I wouldn't go in that room without a hazmat suit on. 17 boys touch themselves. A lot.

Colorado coming from you this is just funny.
1. The kid is 17 not 20 major life changing years between the 2. I know I trained kids from 18-20 how to be good Airman.
2. Pot is natural, we aren't talking about meth, crack, heroine or any number of other really screwed up option on the streets today.
3. I know plenty of highly successful people, some of them on this site and elsewhere who enjoy a bit every now and again. Much like they might enjoy the occasional social cocktail.
4. Your living in a State that the majority of your residents have a point of view similar to mine as your state just voted recently to legalize the stuff.
If you don't wanna do it fine, I will never argue with anyone about their choices. I don't drink, I stopped smoking dope back in school as I wanted to serve my country more than the occasional high from a toke. Just don't make a bigger deal out of pot than it needs to be was all I was saying. He apparently has a good kid with a strong head on his shoulders and, from what we are hearing did a damn fine job raising him.
No, need for anyone to go nuclear over it. Guidance will go further. Odds are the kid will do like many of us did when we matured. Put childish things away, remember the good old days, and move on with our lives.

I'm sorry if this offends anyone.. but addy
ARE YOU RETARDED? Read what i said again. You're comparing Alcohol to Weed. Moderation with weed doesn't matter.
I wasn't SAYING anything about weed being bad, and not to do it. I forgot, i have to like type in small words for you.
You drink alcohol in moderation so you don't kill yourself. You can smoke 20 bowls every other day, and be just fine.
You can't compare the 2 when it comes to consumption is my point.
Someone get me a scotch, before i start slamming my head against concrete from stupidity around here

Making America great, one sign at a time.
found a bong
this is a tough one.
i don't have any kids yet, but ask yourself this,
you "found" the bong.
that means you were snooping in his room. did you find the porno mags, too?
the better idea so you don't lose his "Trust" is to simply do the smell test.
you are looking for the stank, now that you know he has the means to do it. that way you don't break the trust bond of "his privacy, your house"
he may be testing to see if you would find it.
why do i say this?
1. you said he was responsible.
2. you said his grades are good.
3. he calls you when he is away from you.
i don't know about kids, but this one sounds too responsible for his own good. why rock the boat this much?
(i know, i know i am going to be vilified for this post, its bout the drugs. i know nothing, since i have no kids.)
the reality is, the general public is fickle. this includes us and the kids we raise.
every situation is different.
if this kids grade were slipping, not calling, and losing sleep, i would be going all out john mccain on him.
my two cents.

Wacky kids... Some have been known to even have a little greenhouse and some horticulture experiments going on inside a hollow stereo speaker enclosure. Please don't worry over this. Look for signs IN HIM that there is a problem. Forget that closet. ......Penis enlarger... HAHAHAHAHAHA

Just wanted to say thank you.
It has been almost 12 years, there are still days that are hard. God has blessed us and in ways that I could never have imagined.
The entire experience has been seed for opportunities that will continue growing as soon as I graduate college (Nov. this year) and embark on my next journey in life - writing books to help people through times such as this.
And now I work in a sign shop where I can have all my promo materials made at a discount to me along with vendor table experience as I am working business expos to promote the shop I work in.
