ok, so i'm hiding my tobacco in my room, and my mum is getting suspicious; she keeps threatening me with punishments if she finds something like that. how can i stop her from getting so suspicious?
and don't tell me all about the dangers of smoking and all that- i know how bad it is, but i only smoke like once or twice a month.
Suggestion:
Assuming, there are no underage smoking restrictions.
Why would you hide the stash in your room? That is the first place she will find! You should hide it at a friend house, preferably someone easy to manipulate and also looks clever/smart/nerd and say you will hang out there. Kills your social life but at least you get your stuff right? Alternatively, don't keep any tobacco and smoke and settle your stuff outside your house before going home. Use massive amounts of deoderant to clear smell. But first establish, that you have BO and will be using lots of deoderant. Keep your grades up and remember to whiten your teeth because smoking will stain your teeth. Other things to look out for is that you try to act energetic around your mum. Of course, don't do a sudden behaviour change on her because that is just plain stupid.
Alternatively, sorry to your mum, you can act defensive. Start blaming her for not trusting you and say about how you try hard to do (so and so good things). Assert and under no circumstances admit anything about the smoking. Also you can lay a guilt trip on her, and when she comes to this issue of you having tobacco, highlight her failures at being a good mum. Cry if she continually insist on pursuing this issue. Start finding counsellors to talk to in regards to your mum's "paranoid behaviour". This psychological tactic would require a lot of confidence, acting and lack of humanity on your part.
The best option for you, however, is that you do something else to help you through the **** you are going through that requires considerably less effort such as singing your favourite song loudly since you are already stressed over your mum's suspicion= smoking had increase your stress indirectly.
Note: If you are considered underage to smoke in your country, it is not about the matter of the risks, it is downright illegal so stop until it is legal.
