my family is evil. my mom doesn't smoke, but my dad does. his friend is over and they are smoking and drinking stupid alcohol. i always cough when there's smoke. i put the fan blowing at their direction and closed the door so i wouldn't smell it. turns out, they closed my fan. =.=

my mom called me stubborn, everytime i tell them not to smoke. i yell, complain about it. i told them they'd die faster. i told them they could give me lung cancer. ...right now, i just yelled at my parents and their retarded friend to go away. x.x yeah, i'm disrespectful. but they are making me cough. =.="

what should i do/shouldn't do?

[Boyfriendless]

well, Id say tell them tocall some drug suport place. maybe they can help
but its thier cgoice to make not yours,
all you can do is life your life right, and refuse to join them.

i think u should go somewhere else when they r smoking..try to avoid them when they r smoking so u dont get second hand smoking effects..
and i dont think u can change ur dad and his friend unless they feel like changing themselves..so unless they feel like changing, they wont change..

[Wishful_Dream]

^ya.. i went upstairs. =.=" but the smoke started going upstairs.. so im downstairs again. x.x next time im going to a friend's house. -sigh-

[topsyturvy]

I'm proud of you for yelling at them. Yes, it's disrespectful, but people who choose to smoke and drink shouldn't to be respected.

Sorry.

[sheddingtears]

say that you could die from second-hand smoking if they don't stop.

agreed.

[dahding]

u take their cigarettes, and shove them straight up their asses.

and then go chill at a friend's house forever.

i think you should get those pamphlets that tell you why smoking and second hand smoke is dangerous in the language your parents speak (if it's not english...most older asian people are pretty stubborn about "american" things...). you can probably get them from school...or from a website or something

it's not disrespectful that you yelled at them, they're the ones being disrespectful because you're telling them that it can hurt you but they continue doing it...

[_sarcastic_]

way to go, yelling at them. well tell them second hand smoke is worst than smoking the cigarette itself. or just go somewhere else where it's smoke free like a friend's house or sth

[soccerlovinchik]

this is what i did my mom used to smoke so i looked up everything i new and did a presention on it and made it really really really long and said that were going over this every night and my dad supported me cuz he wanted her to stop to and my mom didnt want to hear it so she stopped! your should try it! but be calm about it...the more you yell the more they want to do it

[zbrittanyz]

I've been trying to get my dad to stop smoking forever. He's the only one in my family that does. Nothing has worked so far, but I'm still going to keep trying. I guess that's all you really have to do because one day it just might work.

[misoshiru]

lock yourself in your room perhaps?

[racoons > you]

disrespect works.

yes it was, but it was justified. i wouldn't smoke around other people

she did , but explain to them , calmly.

[tofuburger]

i think you did the right thing...smoking sucks..and you know it could be more harmful for the person breathing it in than the person actually smoking..so what i think you should do is...walk by them once more and then faint...and make sure they hear you...and play dead for awhile...and when the come over..pop back up and be like DO YOU WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO ME?!...yep...it's a fail proof plan.

[rainnydaiis]

You know what I would do? Go to him and turn out his cigarette and say your killing your own daughter dammit.. <---- JP

I would just ask him politely one day saying cigarette smoke and such are affecting my life so can you please stop. Say if you love me and mom you'll do this for us.
