Here to help:

My mom just told me a story about drugs:

Her co-worker's niece phoned the police the other day threatening to commit suicide. The police traced the call and went to her house. She wasn't there. Eventually, they found her and a friend doing drugs on Capitol. My mom then told me that drugs was the reason for the sudden suicidal tendency.

I'm sorry, I'm not good at picking fights wisely. I pick them like an idiot. So I fought back;

"Mom, how do you know she didn't just take drugs because she was depressed? People get depressed, so they turn to drugs, because they don't know what to turn to. They don't take drugs so that they can get depressed."

"NO, drugs make them crazy."

"Mom! She probably just took them to feel better about everything!"

"No--"

"Mom, I KNOW! I know what its like!"

"She doesn't have a problem. Why are you depressed?!"

"I'm not depressed! You're too late...you missed that!"

"If you ever have a problem, you know you can talk to my dad and me. If we can't help you, we'll find someone who can. Just don't get into drugs. Don't ever use drugs to solve problems, because they won't."

"Mom! I don't use drugs! Why are you telling me this? I dont' have a problem! I'm not depressed anymore!"

"Blah blah blah balha blah balha lblahablahablah"--I wasn't listening anymore, I was staring at the computer screen.

"Whatever. Whatever."

Then she left. I know she was just trying to provide a good example for me to follow, and I picked a fight. I got her message, but I'm so tired of her always telling it to me. How can I tell her, "Mom, I already smoked a joint, alright? I'm not going to do it again." Geez. She did an Ok job. I'm not completely incompetent or dependent. I'm fine. I'm okay, I just get these bouts of anger and depression. That's it, but who doesn't? I pick fights really stupid. All I know is that she was just trying to help. I never like asking. But I was right, she missed it. She and dad missed out when they could've been the ones to save me. It was someone else, something else. Not them. I can never turn to them. That's what I should have told her.
