I’m a teen..

I’m 16 and I’ll be 17 in a couple months, I know I’m not a bad kid, I’m very respectful, kind, i make good grades in school, etc etc.

Sometimes I just want to go out and have fun though. I get drunk sometimes and I don’t do it often and I never come home drunk, I don’t accept drinks from people I don’t know, I only accept drinks from family, I always make sure to get in the car with a sober driver. I also have a juul which I bought with my money and I’ve been vaping since I was 15. I understand vaping is bad but I’ve been doing it for awhile.

My parents found out I had been drinking and vaping a month before my 16th birthday and they were mad, personally I feel like they should be more understanding because I’m a teenager and a lot of kids my age do stuff like this and I’m not being stupid about it, I kinda want to tell my mom I’m doing it soon but I don’t know how.. advice??
