I'm all about second chances, so it's good that you're getting one. If it's come to the point of your parents drug testing you, you need to realize that they are doing this for a reason.
My guess is that they care enough to want you clean and sober. Admit to them you need help and are having problems staying clean. It's tough and you're in a tough spot. If you're honest with them and prepared for it, they'll help you.
When others judge you what do they see? Can you understand why they see it? That's the biggest test. It's not "what right do they have to judge me?" But "why do they judge me?" If you can answer that, you're one step closer to understanding why your parents are testing you.
I'll not judge you, but I'll offer the note that only you can decide how you want to live. The world can lay all the rules it wants on you, but ultimately you have to make your own decisions. Your parents are simply trying to help you understand.
Good luck. If you know you're going to fail the test, why cheat it? Simply admit to them, that you've slipped up and are going to test positive. They'll yell, and scream and threaten, but if you're quiet and tell them in a calm voice "I'm starting to understand why you're mad, and I am trying to get better. I've faltered and I know that." We all make mistakes, and you're trying to get there. Life changes don't happen overnight. The most you can hope for is a step at a time.
