*A Houston teen has gotten nearly 10 million views and counting with a TikTok video that lists the unwritten rules his mom taught him to think about every time he leaves the house. It’s a glimpse into what many African American parents teach their kids.

The video is simply 18-year-old Cameron Welch looking at his camera and reciting his mother’s rules. “Don’t be out too late. Don’t touch anything you’re not buying. Always have a receipt when you leave the store,” Welch says in his viral video. “Never make it look like there’s an altercation between you and someone else.”

The advice continues, “Never leave the house without your ID. Don’t drive with a wife-beater on. Don’t ride with the music too loud. Don’t stare at a Caucasian woman.”

“I talked about the unwritten rules my mom makes me follow on a day-to-day basis,” Welch told Houston’s KHOU-11, “so I can come back to her safe … We all have that talk from our parents. It’s just being cautious of things that people normally do that we just can’t do.”
