Info for Parents of Teens

At a recent inservice program, I learned some information that I think parents need to be aware of also, so I thought I’d share. So here is some info for the sake of education. I do NOT claim to be an expert, I am just passing along info that surprised me.

First, when buying back-to-school clothing be aware of two items:

1.) Sha Sha Shoes: These look like Doc Martins and some styles are even sold at retailers like Dillards. These shoes have a hidden compartment in the soles, and some teens are using these to hide drugs. http://www.daljeets.com/shashashoes.html

2.) Flip Flops: Some flip flops have a compartment in the sole that holds “liquids” and a bottle opener built into the bottom of the sole. http://www.ultrasecured.com/aquaeast/Detail.bok?no=1123

Drug Information:

Ecstacy: This has been around awhile, but it is now being marketed to younger children by using cute little pictures on them such as bunnies, stars, Mitsubishi symbols, happy faces, Nike, lightning bolts, and others… This is also known as the “hug drug” because it enhances senses making you want to be touched.

Cheese: This drug is usually a mixture of Tylenol and heroin. Some students pack it beneath their fingernails and can snort or chew it during class without being detected. Otherwise, it can be put almost anywhere, including in the battery compartment of cell phones.

Strawberry Quick: This flavored methamphetamine is the newest form of this dangerous street drug. It appears that the flavor and color were added during the cooking process. This flavored version is popular among new users who snort it because the flavoring cuts down on the taste. Strawberry quick was designed for the younger crowd.

Note: Symbolism….the latest symbol to identify someone using or selling drugs is the butterfly or angels/angel wings. (Of course not ALL butterflies or angels are symbols of this, but look carefully at boys who wear these or have these on backpacks, jackets, etc…)

Inhalants: Just a reminder that this is the most commonly used drug for teenagers. It does NOT show up on drug screens or standard blood tests and is easy to find. Some items that have been used as inhalants….nail polish remover, whiteboard cleaner, model glue, helium, air freshener, dust spray, cooking spray, hair spray, deodorant spray, and even Reddi Whip to name a few.
