Here's Kerby's quote:
The organization Straight, Inc., has produced the following checklist of eighteen warning signs of alcohol or drug abuse:

School tardiness, truancy, declining grades
Less motivation, energy, self-discipline
Loss of interest in activities
Forgetfulness, short- or long-term
Short attention span, trouble concentrating
Aggressive anger, hostility, irritability
Sullen, uncaring attitudes and behavior
Family arguments, strife with family members
Disappearance of money, valuables
Changes in friends, evasiveness about new ones
Unhealthy appearance, bloodshot eyes
Changes in personal dress or grooming
Trouble with the law in or out of school
Unusually large appetite
Use of Visine, room deodorizers, incense
Rock group or drug-related graphics, slogans
Pipes, small boxes or containers, baggies, rolling papers or other unusual items
Peculiar odors or butts, seeds, leaves in ashtrays or clothing pockets.


: : Your right Kathy, Kerby Anderson does give the 18 warning signs developed by Straight, Inc. to determine if your kid is on drugs at http://www.probe.org/docs/drugabus.html . In another essay he's quoting Bob DuPont and PRIDE at http://www.probe.org/docs/teendrug.html . But that's not so unusual because everybody quotes Bob DuPont and PRIDE. I don't know why Mr. Anderson quotes Straight and then punishes other cults, except maybe that George junior says that when it comes to drug rehabilitation, leave the churches alone. Maybe Mr. Anderson met some Straightlings in Texas since Straight Dallas was actually in Richardson and Probe Ministries is also in Richardson.

: Where is he quoting Straight? He's aparently a got himself a pretty good soap box. Could be among those who, if only he had a bit of information, would be pleased as punch for the chance to correct his mistake??? I'll write or call him with a prepared presentation if you'll cite me the quote.
