No easy answers here, that's for sure. Every kid is different and is going to respond differently to different things. But, regardless, you do need to make it clear that it's completely and totally unacceptable in your home. And honestly, what's working with my son (at least so far, but he's only 13), have him watch a few episodes of The Osbournes. If ever there was an example of what drugs can do, that's it. My son says he doesn't ever want to be as stupid as Ozzy or Lindsay, Britney or any of the other celebs making asses out of themselves with substance abuse. He sees everyone laughing at them and doesn't want that to be him.

Whatever you do, though, I wish you the best of luck. You'll come up with the right solution for him, may be a little hit and miss at first but you'll find it
