Opinions about todays society and young generation with gang violence.?

I do not think this question should be here on GAY PREMESIS

You're right Lisa. Back in the day it was a real put down to not be able to speak the language properly. Every region had it's twang of course. In the U. K. also there were a lot of different accents. But using proper grammer was very important if one wanted to get ahead in life. So it was drummed in to our young heads from the first day of school until we graduated. I can remember when you could get a slap on the wrist or back of your hand for using the word "ain't." Even the poorest kids wanted to sound sophisticated. Oh, of course we had our slang words, but again that was mostly regional, except for the words that came out of the movies. Taking English Literature was a required subject all the way through school. And spelling bees were a really big deal back then. Orwell, in his book 1984 talked about a time when the society and the government would use "new speak." I think that time has arrived.

Not everyone joins a gang to be accepted. I was already accepted by people and by my friends in the gang. I just didn't have a really good family and very poor. I joined the gang and had a new family and we all look out for each other. I was able to support my brother and mom. Being in the gang well I did it to survive and to have a family and have people who have my back. I've kinda left the gang, but you can never really be out. Now I do know there are people who join just to be accepted, but there are those like me who have no other option and need to join to survive and to help out there families.

please share how your question / project regarding gang violence relates to LGBT list?
