    And that was directed towards me?

    Yes. Oh, I'm sure you see yourself as exceptionally mature, but making that kind of threat doesn't do much towards proving it.

    Okay think of it like this. I spent freshman and sophomore year of highschool in my hometown. All I did was smoke pot and experiment with other things. I've dug myself a deep hole here. My gpa was at a 1.7. Now that I've moved it's at a 3.3. It's not the best, but it's better. I'm trying to do what's right for me. If I go back to this town for the summer I'm going to mess up again I know it. ALL of my friends do bad stuff, have been charged etc. In this small of a town, I won't be able to get a job nor will I be able to stay out of trouble. Not to mention that my mother can't take care of her and her daughter. Why would she be able to take care of herself. I might not sound mature, but I have good intentions for myself.

    I don't mean this sarcastically or hurtfully. This is intended as a sincere encouragement, okay?

    Part of maturity is being able to do what one knows is right, despite pressure to do otherwise. If your mom will agree to let you stay with a friend over the summer, fine. But if you do find that you have to go back home regardless, remember that you can hold tight to those good intentions. You don't HAVE to go out with your friends and get in trouble. You don't HAVE to bow to peer pressure and get back into drugs. You might not have much fun, but what's important here? Is it better to have a boring summer staying at home alone and watching movies on Netflix, but keeping out of trouble, or living for the short term and letting the long term plans go?

    Now that's a mature response! Good luck, and come back and tell us how it's going, okay?

    You can do it. I know you can.
