did I mention he deals coke?

It would be one thing if I knew him to be a good guy. I myself have been involved with, uh, much older men. However, since I was 14 I've known this guy to use and abuse girls, drive drunk, sleep around, and talk about his girlfriends like they're dirt. He's the type of guy I myself would never date (although up to this point, I'll admit that we were semi-friends, co-workers).

I just had to watch my cousin get pregnant at 17 and have a child to a drug dealer fathering his baby from jail. And my best friend was pregnant at 18 and now has a newborn and a ten year old step-child. And of the ten of my colorguard girls from high school, five have children. I have enough "nephews" and "nieces" for now---I can't handle it happening to my baby sister.
