    you need to smoke the rest of the bud, pronto
    You'll probably get a warning for that for encouraging drug use. Seriously. :rolleyes:

    EMA I guess.

    Kids like the OP are the reason it got cut for loads of others...
    He's 15. You don't get EMA until you're in year 12 or equivalent.

    Loving how people assume he's getting his money from the government when it's quite possible that he has a paper round or some casual work somewhere. Not saying he definitely does work because I don't know any more than you do.. but just saying... he's probably not a bad kid, let's not pigeon hole him.

    You managed to get 7 spliffs out of £20 worth of bud? They must be peckered!

    Anyway, judging by the complete inability to structure a coherent sentence, I would suggest you stop smoking all together and start making some effort in school.

    Also, don't be stupid and take illegal drugs into school! Secondly, i'm guessing the school has thrown these fancy "intent to supply" sentences at you, not the police, as £20 worth of bud is not even close to being enough to get done for intent to supply. You're under 16, if police are involved this will be wiped in 5 years from your record. Stop being a dick.
    think about when you first started, wouldnt a tiny amount get you pukd out of your head?

    You picked at a very small part of the comment you were left just so you could paint the poster in a negative light. Not good man.

    And, honestly, I'd prefer my children smoking pot to drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco.
    Why thank you

    Hi, i didn't really know where to put this thread. I'm really worried and concern. I still go to school and I'm 15. I'm not an average student, I've had several bad things I have done, but only back chatting teachers, being rude. I've been excluded twice for both 2 days for one being violent and the other for massive disruption, resulting in the whole class being removed. I also smoke weed fairly regularly. I spend only £20 a week. On Tuesday, 15 I brought 7 joints into school to smoke as it was sports day. Sport days was cancellened, therefore still have a lot of joints left.
    Only being rude and backchatting teachers but you then say you've been excluded for being violent? :rolleyes:

    Anyway, when will you learn your lesson? Why can't you just behave yourself when you're in school?

    You're smoking pot at 15, you're not an adult, your a kid, and you're smoking that much pot? Being excluded, or even receiving an education, is the least of your problems mate.
    I think unless a young person is in an extremely messed up situation, receiving an education should be his/her biggest concern. And if you think that smoking weed at 15 is such an extreme situation, then you and everyone you know must have lived incredibly perfect lives.

    In fairness getting excluded twice isn't too difficult for a perfectly reasonable student. I was excluded twice (once for violence) and I was the best student my school ever had. Kids don't behave themselves. I have to imagine that anyone shocked by the sort of behaviour he talks about must have been privately educated, because in a state school this is really middle-of-the-road stuff (including the weed, I suppose).

    Agreed. I've grown up with people who did it around that age, most of them are doing fairly well right now because their education was seemingly unaffected. Cannabis usage doesn't necessarily directly correlate with poor educational performance, although it definitely can.

    I got excluded myself, once for a couple of days for swearing at a teacher and 2nd time, permanently for something not even anywhere near as bad as being violent or smoking weed. I know schools can be like that but if you're getting in trouble this regularly you might want to think about what you're doing... if he's gonna smoke it, smoke it outside of school at least.

    Not that it's his fault entirely.

    I agree entirely. He doesn't even know anyone who smokes weed.. yet he thinks he knows what the effects are because he just assumes that all the crap he sees on the TV is 100% true and unbiased. Like on Waterloo Road when that kid smokes a bit over the summer and ends up scizo within like a month or something. Ridiculous. It seems to me like 'Raiden10' lives a very sheltered life.

    It doesn't sound like he's getting into real trouble that regularly. An exclusion for violence is pretty serious, but the other one for a disruption doesn't sound too awful, and other than that it sounds like the usual sort of thing me and my friends would get detentions for all the time.

    The smoking weed is a funny one, because I can understand why schools are so hard on it and I support them being that way because of the way young people are so easily influenced by their peers, but the fact he's smoking weed doesn't, in and of itself, suggest to me that there's anything particularly wrong.

    Back to a question you'd asked in the post this about why he can't behave himself in school: probably because he's 15. I'd be a bit suspicious of someone who behaved themselves all the time at 15 (well, someone with my educational background, certainly).

    The writing a letter idea is good. Run with it. Say that you're looking to go to uni to study to become a doctor or something: convince them that you have real goals that an adult can appreciate as sensible and viable. Maybe all you rbad behaviour since the start is part of your personality, you can add that you'regoing through some rough things at home and the whole thing was a big mistake that you hope to learn from.

    Getting B's and A's like you do you could even add that you enjoy school and learning and that you realize what an idiot you've been and that you just need a chance to clean your act up.

    Obviously if this ploy works you are actually going to clean your act up. Verily and absolutely.
    This is a good idea. Plus, I bet most of the teachers at your school have smoked pot at least once in their lifetime, I know that most of mine have - if worst comes to worst you could bring that up.

    You spend £20 per week on weed and you manage to roll 7 spliffs for one day's use (assuming you smoke more than once per week)?

    You're either full of **** or you roll the most pathetic things.

    If you need to get rid of bud quickly, start a post on here, you're bound to find a buyer judging by the amount of people that have already replied to this one.

I've been excluded twice for both 2 days for one being violent and the other for massive disruption, resulting in the whole class being removed. I also smoke weed fairly regularly. I spend only £20 a week. On Tuesday, 15 I brought 7 joints into school to smoke as it was sports day. Sport days was cancellened, therefore still have a lot of joints left.

    During the day I went of site for a fag and they searched me but the bud was down my pants. After school I was waiting for the late bus with my friend and decided to smoke one. Two boys heard and can along out the back with us. We sparked it up and started smoking it obviously passing it around. 3 teachers walked out the back and saw us, and told us to go away. We went back in and All the teachers started staring.

    The next day, I have an hour long conversation with a teacher and as everyone else had told them, I had to admit it. Now, I've got done for possession, smoking and supplying. I've been excluded for 5 days to start with but they can still investigating it. My friend, brought half the weed and had possesion of it during the day to but only today has admitted it, and also been excluded. I don't want to be kicked out as I only have one more year left and they also said I'm one to support as I have fairly good grades B's and A's. I'm scared. Are the going to kick me out, or what punishment? Will all the teacher find out about this?
    Thanks.
    at my old school teachers would probably join in.

    if you think you are at risk of being kicked, try to be an angel and volunteer for everything to show you know you were silly and have turned a new leaf. you could try writing a letter too if thats the kind of thing they would like.

    this.

    alot of kids will pick one of these hobbies, and i would sure rather the drunk 15 year olds in the park at night were stoners, as stoners dont attack random strangers and form machete wielding gangs.

    Firstly, thank you so much for all those helpful people out there. You have really changed my view, I'm actually going to try and stop spending £20 weekly and actually try in school if I'm not kicked out. I don't suppose anyone who has tips or anything to cut down? And to all those pathetic replies about thin rolls, I don't feel the need to reply but I obviously had more weed but will let it go.. And also I'm not a 'him', I'm actually a girl.

    Why is everyone going on about £20 worth of bud being ALOT? It's really **** all, three PROPER joints at a push! This guy is basically smoking 7 joints that would be 95% tabacco for crying out loud! The only problem this guy has, is the fact his a ****ing moron.
    Depends where you live and how good your dealer is. For example, a twenty bag in Preston is almost twice the size of a twenty bag in Manchester.

    Define "bad for you". The bit where weed is worse (the brain) unfortunately is the only one you can't remake. I wouldn't recommend heavy drinking or any smoking at 15 either. At age 15 moderate alcohol won't do any harm, if you have to do one of them.
    :rolleyes: What bit where weed is worse for the brain? Alcohol is bad for the developing brain did you forget?
