Always had a policy of anything ds wants to ask about, he can, so he does.
We've had most of the convos you usually have as they grow up, the sex one, the smoking one, we've had a not hugely in depth one about drugs in the past when they discussed it in schooletc.
Anyway ds came in tonight and said that a friend at school had offered him a fag (not surprised) and that said friend does drugs. (That one was a bit earlier than I expected). So he wanted to know what all the various drugs do, why someone would take them etc. I gave him as much information as he wanted to know, as usual and although I'm fairly sure of myself as a parent, I wondered how everyone else handles the issue.
Would you brush the issue under the carpet, or would you discuss it with them.
