He gave absolutely amazing performances in pretty much everything. Especially in The Master and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. We lost an amazing character actor today.

I keep reminding my teenage sons - you can't become addicted to something you never try.

So far, one has listened more closely than the other. Sigh.

That's definitely one of the issues I fear when my kids get a bit older. Here's hoping that your other son decides it's just not worth it.

As a teen, I can tell you that the majority of teens don't do drugs. Many do, but most don't. It sort of depends on the area. Honestly, having it nailed in my head at school helped a lot, as well as watching my cousins (who did drugs) ruin their lives. Set the example for your kids. Tell them, "This is what happens when people do drugs. Now do you really want your life to end up like that?" Or teach them about all the diseases associated with drugs. It's no guarantee, but every little bit helps:)

You know, two of my cousins were both on drugs. The one is now no longer doing drugs other than smoking cigarettes after years because he wanted better for his daughter. His girlfriend also stopped using drugs because she wanted better. It's possible he'll pull himself out. Might take a while, but if it's happened before to other people, it can certainly happen again to another person.

I can't imagine what it's like to be a parent and watch your child slowly destroy his or her body with drugs...

His logic - pot is not destroying his body, it's medicine; it helps him sleep.

He's a teenage boy. That's all they do is sleep.

It's teenagers in general who like to sleep...my schedule allows for 8-10 hours of sleep per night, and if I'm sick, I'll sleep even longer. When I was home by myself and there was no school, noon seemed like a logical time to be up.
