- Confront the mother first before jumping into any conclusions (talk about it, hear her explanation)
- Does not like the fact that Jay's actions are highly dependent on the mom. (Does not mean one of them is doing it, the other has the right to = different circumstances)
- Given Jay is a minor, and if disadvantages are more than advantages, would go for the one with less consequence. Not to mention, given that he is a minor, his parents has the responsibility to guide him to the right path.
- There is the possibility that the mom felt that way because she knows, through her own experience, the negative effects of weed; thus, she felt like she had the right to tell her kid not to go down the same path.
- In addition to the possibility of the mom saying no to weed because of her own experience, as a child, we would have maybe appreciated the honesty more from her side of her experience, and would empathize as a child, and understood more why she is against it.
- To add, our parents also have issues and traumas na they are not comfortable to open but on our perspective as children, we would appreciate it if they would be willing to open up so we can understand better.
- You have the freedom to decide what is good and what is right. Jay should decided what's best for him independent from the actions of her mother.

Our group decided that confrontation is the best course of action in order to clarify the situation. Our individual answers are the following:

- It’s better to confront the mom regarding the pot issue for transparency and I feel like as a child with restrictions from parents, the parents should be role models for their children.

- I think that Jay should talk to his mom about finding the pipe and what that made him feel because maybe his mom has a reasonable explanation as to why she has a pipe in her bag.

- Confront the mom, for honesty as well since there might be a good explanation from the mom hence why she lectured Jay in the first place because she knows the consequences as a user herself.

Our group decided that it would be better for Jake to confront mom and tell her what it felt like to find the pipe in her bag instead of using it as an excuse to smoke pot. After all, if ever the reason why the mom told him not to try it is that she knows how additive of a substance it was and her own experience in it, we believe that Jake will have more reason not to use it as well and perhaps even develop a stronger bond with his mom in the process as it was somewhat implied that his mom might have been viewing herself as a disappointment because of her problems with the drug usage. Other than that, we believe that not confronting his mom can also cause some strain in his relationship with his family in the long run because this is a family issue so it will surely affect each member of the family. In addition, this confrontation might also push them to get the whole family to try professional counseling as it is possible that there are other underlying issues that causes the mom to continue using it and they need learn as a family what or what to do to cope up with this problem.

-Confronting the mother to help identify whether the pot really belongs to her and if she is an addict.
-Confront the mother to get and explanation for her answers regarding Jay wanting to try pot himself.
-If the pot really belongs to her mother, encourage her to seek professional help.
-Confronting the mother will help reveal any issues or problems the mother is experiencing resulting to her saying those things.
-It is also ideal to tell about the pot to his father or older members maybe they can handle it better.

Option 1: Will not confront the mom immediately. We will consult another trusted adult for us to be able to see the issue from another trusted adult's perspective.

Pros - Less burden on Jay since there is a trusted adult in the family guiding him

Cons - Confidentiality issues

Option 2: Will immediately confront the mom. This can be our way of showing transparency and accountability.

Pros - This will allow Jay to hold his mom accountable and observe transparency and communication in their relationship.

Cons - Relationship may be affected

Option 3: Jay chooses to stay silent

Pros - Good relationship with mom, Jay will be able to smoke pot freely without the guilt

Cons - There is still a possibility that his mother's actions will still be revealed anyway through getting caught

Final answer: We will go for option 1. Since they are also on a vacation, we figured that it will probably be best to lay low initially and allow things to sink in for Jay to think of things through with the guidance of another adult family member. Same ending: the mother will be confronted anyway but this time, we have the guidance and support of another adult in the family

Our choices are either confrontation, going out to try the drug or just staying quiet to begin with

The stakeholders are the mom and jay, and possibly the family as well

The consequences of us confronting the mom could lead to a strained relationship as mother and son; which also affects the daily as well
