Do you think kids high on drugs will care about things like that?

by you saying "kids high on drugs", im going to venture a guess and say that you're at least 40.
look, im in my early 20's, have younger siblings, and have plenty of experience with "drugs", and what's popular with kids today.
. but none of these could account for the kind of observations discussed in this thread or other threads related to BEK. even hallucinogens, and again i know from experience, could not account for this. if a 12 year old kid was tripping (which is about as common as a yellow lobster), he would NOT be able to approach anyone's door or form any sort of coherent sentence, let alone a conniving plan to rob you.
i don't understand some people's perceptions of kids and drugs. things aren't all that different from when you were kids. i imagine some people in this thread sounding like the mother from the waterboy, "them kids did them drugs and let in the DEBIL!" oh please.

with the quote i was clearly referring to the thing i quoted right above in my other post where someone said "Take a little drugs and they welcome in dark energy and walla, possessed by demons."
people seem to want to ignore the fact that the cases describe the sclera as completely black, which could really only be explained by contacts.
the fact that i have some insight into what kids are getting themselves into nowadays is pretty relevant. a lot of people in the thread would refer to drugs but seem to have absolutely semblance of what they are talking about grounded in reality. hopefully what i wrote above can clear that up for some of them.

you were the most recent one talking about it, so i quoted what you said. that doesnt mean i was simply addressing you and only you
drugs are a really lame explanation for these stories.
and no, realistically i dont think drugs would make kids want to go prank someones house. i think they make kids want to sit in play video games and eat bagel bites.

I would suggest that the kids had dilated pupils because of another reason.
It might account for the odd behaviour too

Reading more of this stories online, I've noticed it's always been kids. Now, my brother is 13, and he is one of those who tries to stay in trend, and nothing like this has ever come up. So I'm ruling out that all kids are doing it.

if you want to case a place to rob it, i don't think you want to wear black contacts. i think that would kind of hurt your chances. im no professional thief, but that just seems like day 1 stuff.

some people do tend to look people right in the eye in those situations but some also tend to look down and avoid eye contact as well
