No offense to anyone out there, its not necessarily that I think they're automatically drug users or bums because they skate or hang out on street corners, but thats the stereotype and thats what the cops are going to zero in on. Truth is, I've met more straight edge/sXe what the hell ever skaters than ones who were passing around a joint. (What is this world coming to? :D )
I've done more drugs than the vast majority of my friends in highschool, and I started far younger, but NO ONE has ever accused me of being a druggie. I was always the upstanding honor roll kid and even my grandmother who accused everyone and their dog of doing drugs (she was a paranoid old bat) swore up and down that I "wasn't that stupid" and "knew better." While my poor mom got accused time and time again of doing angel dust even though my mom wasn't even sure what angel dust was. LOL. :thumbsup:
There's a virtue in looking "normal" when you're anything but and do in fact have something to hide.
