Assignment #5: Teenagers and Gangs
The reason why teens join gangs is that they think they tough. They also think they look cool but really they don't. Why would you want to do bad stuff for the hell of it no sense at all. The way you get in a gang from what I hear is that you have to get jumped or the girls have to have sex with how many guys the main guy say. I think gangs ruin peoples lives because your always getting in trouble with laws loose people respect and so on so forth.
I think people shouldn't join gangs because its just a waist of time. There is so much to do with your live. Would you rather live freely than getting in trouble, shot at, death, or be in prison for live. Or have a good live where you have a good job, a loving family who cares about you. You can really go far in live not being in a gang. You loose so much of respect of other. They don't want you around because they don't want to worry about you stealing from them.
Another reason is that they maybe have family problems so they think that a gang is their family. But if they were like your family they wouldn't beat you up to be apart of that gang. They think that their problems go away. I rather have my real family that a gang cause they are alway there no matter what and a gang isn't. They also deal drug that are bad for you. Gang members will peer pressure you to be in their gang.
If a teen is really bored with nothing tp do they might start their own gang in their neighborhoods. If you have grown up around drugs and gangs most likely you will do drugs or be in a gang. Most gang members start exposing gangs to kids when your like 10-11. Poor kids that are exposed to gangs that like ruined their lives at a young age.
