My 16-year old son just asked me if he could print something out.
"Of course!"
So he did, and it turned out he was printing out a letter to his principle outing some kids in his class for using vape pens that contain THC.
Personally, I say they deserve it for vaping at all, but I'm not sure how to proceed, as I don't want my kid to get "a reputation" seeing as how we are in a small town and he has two more years of school after this....

Is it anonymous, or does he want his ass kicked?

Everyone knew who smoked cigarettes, drank, and smoked pot in my school. No one gave a shit.

"Not your monkeys and not your circus, son".

At best (and I wouldn't even do this, personally) he might send the letter anonymously. But man, there is a non-zero chance those inquisitive kids are going to figure out who dimed them out.

Your son means well but he will likely try to create joinder with the rest of us in 15 years time after shooting a pitbull.

Sure the SGCH principal will love to know.

He’s 16, he should have this kind of thing figured out by now. Let him do it, so that he can learn the hard way. That’s the only thing that will actually help him, at this point.

I bet he already told one of his friends , girlfriend , someone that's he's going to do this .
So if he thinks it's going to be a secret it won't be. His next  couple of years are going to be tough .

I would tell him don't do it.

Let him do it then drop the dime on him to the vapers. A valuable, life long lesson on the many benefits of minding ones own business will almost certainly be learned and will hopefully cure him of that do gooder, “I’m helping” attitude that needs a swift correction.

Just ask him if he is ready to face the consequences of his actions and explain those consequences if he doesn't know them.

Under NO circumstance should you allow him to seriously harmed for standing up to what he feels is his convictions (regardless how nosy-rosie it is).

Might want to teach him to fight if you haven't already.

That's ridiculous, perfectly normal to glance at what you're printing, in damn near any context.

OP, STRONGLY discourage your kid from sending that letter. Its probably a good time for a discussion on individual liberty and personal responsibility. A man shouldn't concern himself with the affairs of others when they don't affect him. I'm sympathetic, I was definitely resentful of the kids who seemed to be rewarded for their looser morals when I was his age, but resentment is the path to ruin. He should focus on his own life and goals.

Man thats depressing, because snitches/narc's/tattle tales are pretty much the scum of the earth.

I would tell him to MYOB if I were you. He'll get a name as a Narc, and it will follow him to college if anyone he knows now goes to the same school. Nobody likes a narc.

Sometimes, discretion is the better part of valor.
