MM, It's tough when a family member crashes and burns like that. I'm sure your going thru a hard time, and it will be even harder when you tell your folks. First, check the facts, find out of the arrest and conviction actually happened. Second, contact a local family counseling center - you're gonna need it. Third, tell your parents you need help dealing with a problem. This is to get them into the "My kid NEEDS me" mode, Fourth, bring them to a counseling session, and with your support group, break the news to them. OR, you can let them read about it in the paper, or hear it from a stranger. Whatever you choose to do, I know all of us here at Pixies will support you!
