This is a warning to parents out there who are having trouble understanding the way their kids are dressing these days. If you're lucky enough to have a good white Christian boy who dresses moderately then this thread is not for you.

If your kids are acting rebelliously and dressing strangely this may be a sign that they are under the influence of illegal narcotics, or even trafficking in them with their friends.

Go thru this checklist to determine whether your child is dealing drugs:

1. Pants sagging below waist despite wearing a belt.
2. Hat isn't new but still has stickers on it.
3. Hat is worn to the side, and crooked.
4. Cultivating dreadlocks (and the kid's not black).
5. Rides a skateboard.
6. Listens to bands like 311, Sublime, and Ben Jesus.
7. Wants to play acoustic guitar and learn old folk songs.
8. Starts compulsively collecting Grateful Dead bootleg recordings.
9. Decides to become a vegetarian.
10. Girlfriend's name is 'Tea Bag'.
11. Wears a hoodie. Or tie dyes.
12. Keeps writing reports about the value of hemp crops.
13. Persistent cough, yet no signs of tuberculosis.
14. Eyes are red-rimmed and/or her nose is runny in the absence of a cold.
15. Lazy, won't do chores.
16. Cell phone rings constantly. Text messaging frequently.
17. Doesn't want to tell you where he's going when he goes out at night.
18. Strange friends who he won't introduce you to.
19. Bad grades. Can't do math or turn in projects on time.
20. Grades have slipped, and school attendance is irregular.
21. No real hobbies or interests other than 'hanging out'.
22. Plans to vote Democrat.
23. Bandanna hanging out of right rear pocket or cargo pocket. (Left pocket is for fags)
24. Keeps telling you to 'chill out'.
25. Wears too much AXE body spray.
26. Withdrawn, depressed, tired, and careless about personal grooming.
27. Hostile and uncooperative; frequently breaks curfews.
28. Relationships with family members have deteriorated.
29. Eating or sleeping patterns have changed; they're up at night and sleeps during the day.
30. Doesn't want to have dinner with the family; eats too much candy
31. Gone for days. Where is the kid?

There are many steps toward recovery. Being a friend isn't going to help your child in this situation. He/she needs a parent who is going to set limits and boundaries, and effective punishments.

Taking the time to discuss the problem openly without turning away is an important first step on the road to recovery. It shows that your child's well-being is crucial to you and that you still love him, and that Jesus loves him, although you hate what he's doing to himself. But you should also show your love by being firm and enforcing whatever discipline your family has agreed upon for violating house rules, like mandatory Bible study and participating in church activities. You should go over ways to regain the family's trust such as calling in, spending evenings at home, going to church together, and improving grades.

[Rev. Jim Osborne]

This is an excellent checklist, Brother Nobar. I think a good idea will be to print these up in church newsletters across America, so parents can understand if their kids are actually felons. Now there are 31 of these, but I think if the kid is doing at least 6 or 7, he's probably injecting pot but if it's 10 or more, he's probably an actual drug dealer.

Parents, if your kids display any of these symptoms, you know what to do. Tough love. Lock them in their rooms for days on end, regular beatings, and make them read their Bibles. In no time, they'll slap out of their lazy lifestyles and their teenage slang. Teenage drug dealers are ruining the nation and it's up to us parents to put a stop to this!

[James Hutchins]

I think any parent whose child displays any of Brother Nobars warning signs should contact the police immediately to have the child sent to juvenile hall.
The sooner the deviant drug dealer is taken off of the street, the sooner decent children will be safe from the snake like charms of the devil drugs.

So now, skateboarding, playing folk songs on an acoustic guitar, wearing hoodies or tie dies, voting Democrat (WTF), and asking nervous parents to calm down = drug dealers

Way to stereotype. Next thing you know, all black people are rapping robbers or Asians are nerds

*sigh* While I agree that drugs are indeed very, very bad, stereotyping ANYONE to have even ONE of these properties as a drug dealer is even worse.

First of all, telling a parent and/or authority figure to "Chill Out", is just down right disrespect, period, it's another way of telling someone to shut up, and dressing like the rappers on MTV, is saying that they aprove of that behavior and are willing to copy it, riding a skateboard is unproductive to say the least, as a child, OK, I accept that, as a tennager getting ready to face the world, no, I don't accept it, I have not yet seen any advertisements in the want ads for employment when any employer seeks a professional skateboarder, I think the bottom line here is, "Birds Of A Feather, Flock Together", that's it. The King James Bible teaches all that God wants us all to respect our parents, not being involed in normal family life and running with losers is not what god wants for us, don't you have eyes??, don't you see what kind of society your living in??, just think, if every person on Earth were to have followed the words of God all this time, you would be able to walk down any street in the world, and not have fear, every young person, (teenager), would answer you with, "Yes Sir" or "No Sir", instede of, "Yo Man", or "Ain't Like Dat", so please get a hold of your emotions and look at what it is you really want on Earth, I choose respect and safety, I choose wallking the streets with no fear of being robbed or killed over the color of my shirt.

It alters your mind and in this degenerate state you cannot worship Jesus properly.

1-how come no1 has ever died from marijuanna

You didn't meet Chester Northwood did you? Killed when a one ton bale fell on him on the Mexican border...

2-why are cigarettes aloud in america when they kill you

Responsible enjoyment is an ancient custom. The Tobacco companies are well established and contribute to society and the economy. Drug dealers don't.

3-why is ganja illegal if its good for you

It's not good for you! It makes you slow, stupid and lazy and causes you to find silly things funny.

4-(a) how come in america i cant smoke ganja/ im rastafarian (b) i though i was aloud to worship my religeon

(a) Who wants a bunch of drug-crazed nigras running round looking for unlocked cars and white women? (b)No, you can't worship a religion, you have to worship a god and if your brain isn't fully destroyed by that weed, you'll choose Jesus.

[MitzaLizalor]

what is that black lozenge thing?

[yeahismoke]

this is possibly the most ignorant forum on the entire internet. for serious, i thought this was a joke at first. i'm so glad i'm catholic so i don't have to interact with you people. i know people who fit almost all of these and yet they do not deal drugs and at the same time, i know people who could walk into your church and blend in perfectly but they have a pound of weed in their backseat. pot isn't america's problem, you people are. and for your information, there isn't a single fact on this forum. bottom line

I could die from it, I'm severely allergic to your type and my lungs could close up. I have never asked for the pastors to pray for me because, well, as long as I stay away from the likes of you it's not a problem. When I lived in Canada, I used it as an early warning system that I was getting too close to sinners.

Probably a curse for living on the Wet Coast.

As for you being "rasta" I don't think you could tell me anything more about your religion other than that you're allowed to smoke pot.

[Dave Smith]

My son used to be a drug dealer, when i found about it I locked him in his room for 1 week. Since then he stopped with drug dealing.

[luke.bishop]

hi, I am new here and i have already introduced myself, as im still learning on how to become a true christian, i do have a few questions, one of them is what is wrong with number 16, the one about receiving a lot of phone calls and messaging. I am a christian and do believe in God, and im certainly not a drug dealer, i do none of those mentioned in the entire list besides 16, i receive a lot of phone calls and messaging from friends, work, family etc.

so my question is, how does number 16 resemble being a drug dealer or if it is not Gods way or unchristian like to do number 16, is there any scripture that backs it up?

[Nobar King]

Excessive texting or phone use is a definite indicator of possible drug dealing. Kids these days, they use the newest technology to make their deals.

[luke.bishop]

The only way i see it being a definite indicator is if the child is doing more one the list that has been mentioned. having a child that does excessive phoning/texting and nothing else on the list cant give you an indication to possible drug use.

[Nobar King]

Don't try to confuse me with your semantics, boy! If you're not on the drugs then your parents must have done a good job raising you, but if you are on the drugs, then what are you doing here trying to discredit my fine list of warning signs for parents?

Hrer are a couple of rôle model pictures - the sort of people your drug-dealing teen will emulate (or associate with).

Good list

The only ones i would take off are: 5, 13(allergies), and 16. I think altering 13 to exclude allergies would be fine though.
