We all make mistakes (if you consider smoking weed a mistake). I despise hearing age as an excuse in any argument. Moreover, do not use your parent's history as a guideline to yours, if they made mistakes; doesn't mean you have to. This is my advice to you and every stoner (if they wish to take it), i've done it; i see nothing wrong with it, it won't fuck up your health, and i agree to the majority of pro-weed arguments. However, if it starts hurting you and breaking relations with your parents/people who care about you than why bother? Smoking doesn't make you cooler, it doesn't make your dick grow, it doesn't bring bitches, etc.

Parents> Smoking

If your parents are hardcore and will ask you to either A. Religion or GTFO or B. Make you do something ridiculous ( like go to a church camp) i'd wait until i am secure financially and mentally. I don't see why people make a huge deals of coming out of the closet . At the end of the day isn't it your life?

To suggest that smoking a plant is a sin is ridiculous. But at the same time you have to understand that your parents had some standards for you when you were growing up. Some parents have different standards than others. In your case, you violated their trust because they don't like smokers, which is fine. I would probably get disowned as well if my parents found out I did marijuana as well, but see, it's not like they don't love you anymore.
You screwed up. Now you have a choice really. Weed is not a very healthy drug to be smoking while your a teenager. You're going to get a bunch of people here telling you that weed is good for you, and that it has no adverse affects. These are the people who don't trust medical professionals when they say that weed is unhealthy and affects brain function and memory. You can choose to ignore it, but it's a fact that all of my friends who smoke weed have lower grades, perform worse in sports, and are just overall aggressive and unhappy all the time when they are not around good friends.
Saying your just a teenager is not taking responsibility in your life. You should be taking responsibility for your own actions and learning from them. My father was a smoker for over 15 years. Mainly it started because military service was mandatory in his country, and they handed out cigarettes for free. But it stuck with him until he heard my mother was pregnant. He told me he quit cold turkey, because he knew what smoking had done for him. He's been smoke free ever since, and I'm really glad that he has. My mother picked up smoking after I was born, and she still enjoys a celebratory cigarette with friends, but she does not smoke a whole lot. (I used to count her cigarettes. The most she smoked in a day was 3)
But that doesn't mean that when my parents tell me not to smoke, I should call them hypocritical. They experienced first hand what smoking did to them, and they know that it's not something that I should experience. But seriously, let's be real. Do drugs REALLY make you feel good? Do you honestly think that smoking is something you MUST do in your life? Really it's up to you, as you have your own freedoms and liberty to do as you please.
I agreed with you until you got into the stereotypical stoner. I do agree that their are more people doing bad then do good ( with regards to smoking weed) . However, weed does not make you aggressive, and i highly recommend you look up some medical marijuana patients. Their are many individuals who match if not double-triple what the average salary in the u.s is. Contrary to belief weed alone does not turn you in to an idiot. What does turn you to an idiot are influences that can come from this pastime.

When this happens parents seem to view their child differently, hell I got my license suspended until I'm 18 just by my parents, I didn't even get caught by the cops. But I've been sober a while now. I mean they can't stop you from doing it, but my relationship did change with them. But it's getting better, it's just part of being a teenager today.
