so my mom and dad think that my sister and I are abusing vicodin. I wish I could say I was.. but im not. about 4 days ago my sister got her wisdom teeth out so she was given vicodin to cure the pain. Last night Hillary put a conversation i was having with her where i was like "just gimme the damn vicodin blah blah blah" as a joke as her away message. funny maybe not but the parentals took that literally... and it didnt help when this morning elizabeth was taking her vicodin to school to take in case her mouth hurt... well my mom freaked out and confiscated her pills... she counted the number of pills elizabeth had taken out of the bottle and it was 12 out of 20... and decided that there was no way elizabeth couldnt have taken 12 pills in 4 days and that she was giving them away to her friends... so i come home at 10 30 am during my break and see a note left for me on the counter telling me to put my leftover vicodin pills on the counter... well i used them all up during my wisdom teeth thing.. she then starts freakin out to me about the dangers of vicodin use and i just kinda look at her with a look like shes crazy.. she then goes to call the doctor and ask if 12 pills in 4 days is a normal vicodin use and he says yes... even so my mom goes online and finds all this information for my sister and i to study and then write a paper about it and then tells us we have a family meeting.
I swear my mom watches too much dr. phil and oprah she just invents problems for us.
I have finally convinced my mom that my sister and I do not have a vicodin abuse problem and she cancelled the family meeting and paper we have to write... but this is the email that was sent..
Elizabeth and Kate - following are links to sites to learn about Vicodin. You think that we are being "silly parents" in being concerned about your use/unconcern about Vicodin. But this is NOT the case. It is a dangerous narcotic that can be addicting without intent. I don't want talk-back, or even the excuse that you are good kids. I know you're good kids, but there are some things you should not mess around with.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT: We will have a family meeting at 9pm tonight. I want you to write up a two-page report that covers the following questions. You may each write a page, or work together. I do not want talk-back that you don't want to do this. I don't care. It is a much better alternative than some of the things that I have been thinking of doing to teach you the gravity of narcotics.:
* Is Vicodin abuse common?
* How long does someone take Vicodin before there could be a problem?
* What would happen to a child who was found with Vicodin in high school?
* What would happen to a child who was found giving Vicodin to a friend?
* How would a disciplinary report/suspension/expulsion affect chances of being accepted at a competitive college?
Here are some links I found, you should look at. I will expect you to read the article below, and be able to summarize it this evening.
