Answer
Honestly? It depends on your history, your grades, the way you act, your state, and the people you know. It depends on the judge, the principal, the officer that was assigned to you, and your parents.

This may not be completely true, considering I was in a slightly different situation.

If you're NOT in high school yet, it won't go on your permanent record. Anything during and after high school stays there forever. If you are in high school, you'll have to deal with it. You'll end up losing your license for about 6 months, most insurance companies won't accept you, you'll have a hard time finding a job, etc. Let's hope you're still in middle school.

Just follow along with it. Show up to your court date ON TIME. DO NOT BE LATE. If you're late, for ANY reason, that will look TERRIBLE. Hopefully the judge will let you off with just community service and a fine. When you go there: be smart, tell the truth, use MANNERS, and apologize often. Say yes sir, yes ma'am often, apologize, say you won't ever do it again, you learned your lesson, etc. If they see that you're a good kid, good grades, no other history of bad things, they'll probably just let you off with a warning or community service and a fine. If they find out that you're a terrible student, bad grades, poor manners, etc... you'll be looking at a ton of community service, juvenile time, and you'll have to go to alcohol classes. If your school has prevention presentations often like mine does, you'll have to present a speech and share your story, try to convince the entire school or class to not do what you did.

I know all of this because it happened to me. I was 14 also, an 8th grader in middle school. I was a stoner.. Always smoked weed before school and at lunch. All the time. Whenever I could. In fact, it was exactly a year ago from tomorrow (4-20 -__-), during my 7th period class (which happened to be my last class of the day). In the morning I didn't leave my friend's paraphernalia at her house - I took it to school. I'd done it before, but no one suspected anything. We were down at the locker rooms, since my last period was kind of a PE class... In the bathroom stall there was an air vent on the ceiling, so I thought it'd be a terrific idea to just blow the smoke into it. I did, and I left the items in my jacket, down in the locker rooms. About 10 minutes later, the principal (who happened to be that class's teacher...) came up to me and told me to follow him, brought me to the locker room and confiscated it, called the police and my mom, etc. I was horrified - I had never gotten caught before, with anything. I thought my plan was great, no one would notice. But people at my school like to steal things from bags in the locker room - and they went through my jacket and found it, and told on me. Their excuse was, they could smell it. They probably could though.

Anyway, I was charged with paraphernalia and ...something else that I don't remember... I was supposed to be getting a call from the judge for my court date, I was expelled for the rest of the year, I was told I had to present in the DARE program as a bad example, and that didn't even include the punishment from my mom. the thing is... the cops didn't care either way. They deal with kids all the time, but I had good grades and I was a great student. I didn't try lying (much..), I just exaggerated the truth. Like... I told them it wasn't mine. It really /wasn't/ mine. I wasn't lying. I said that my friend asked me to hold it for her. She /did./ We didn't want to be late for school by returning it to her house, so I held It for her because she didn't have pockets. I wasn't lying at all.

Anyway, The police never called back to tell me my court date. We kept calling and calling but they never answered, and they ignored our messages. So after a while we said fuck it, if they don't want me to go to court, then I won't. I ended up with no charges. The only thing that happened was me getting expelled, and that didn't even end up on my record because it was only middle school.

So after that I definitely learned my lesson - Don't do it in public :p Or when you know you're going to get caught. It's like showing up to work drunk. You'll lose your job. Show up to school drunk, you get expelled. Show up home drunk, you face the wrath of your parents. It all has consequences, and you'll just have to deal with it. The whole thing will blow over in the next year or so.

Next time - Don't do it when you know you have school. Be careful, because if you get off with a warning the first time and get caught the second time - you /won't/ get off again.
Good luck.

How long does it take your kid to get out the door in the morning?

My son is a dawdler when he eats breakfast and man, it takes him a good hour from bed to out the door. Thinking he'll be having to get to school on time...is this normal?

How long does it take you, personally, to get ready? How disheveled are you willing to be if you're running late?



Answer
when I was in high school I would literally roll out of bed two minutes before I had to be out the door. I showered the night before, and pulled my clothes out, so that way in the morning all I had to do was throw on my clothes, brush my hair real quick, grab some breakfast to go, and then I would brush my teeth at school as soon as I got there. Now it takes me forever to go anywhere. I have to get up, get dressed, get both of my kids up and dressed, change diapers, nurse the baby, feed my son some breakfast which can sometimes take forever, get teeth brushed, diaper bag packed, get kids buckled into car seats, deal with however many tantrums we have that morning, and then we can go. It usually takes close to two hours. I'm glad I don't need to go anywhere often. I still shower the night before I have to go anywhere, and I never bother doing anything with my hair, so that saves time. If I didn't have to take my kids with me (which I always do) I could probably get up and be out the door within 15 minutes or so without too much rush.
