Pedro, as a 14 year old adolescent it is your job to raise questions and call adult hypocrisy to attention. I understand that, I might even go so far as to say I respect that. It is also your vocation at this point in your life to figure out EXACTLY what the rules are so that you can skate around them. So far, so good. But please know that with your smarts and your attitude you are running up a pretty big target. Don't say, "It won't happen to me," because the people you will be dealing with will rat you out in an instant. May I point out that it is your responsibility now in life to begin to learn how to keep yourself safe. And that includes your family. If you get caught with drugs or if you even get ACCUSED of doing/dealing drugs (no proof needed, sorry) you and your family could very well be deported. That means the end of your Mom's job and bye-bye college for you. I know, it sucks to be 14. It's sucks even worse to be a bored American kid in Qatar. Grow up and do whatever you want in four more years.
