I was told a lot when I was a kid "You'll either be dead or in prison" by all the adults around me. So much that on my 16th b'day I remember a woman who was like a mother crying cos she couldn't believe I'd made it to 16 alive and out of juvie. When you've got no options, untreated ptsd, you're left in dangerous situations and no-one cares to help and you're told constantly that you're going to die - It gets in your brain. Why bother planning to live or trying when everyone you have around is so confident there is no reason for you to. Watch what you say to the young people around you, because they're picking up what they hear the most and believing it. In that situation making it through, and living for that day is a win. They're not 'throwing away their lives' when they're told and shown they won't have lives to live and plan for anyway.

Being from the Bronx, I can happily say that my teenaged son, while still in the Bronx, gets to grow up in a much nicer, safer area than his mom and I lived in. He's got a much better childhood and goes to a much better school than either of us had too. The BX isn't just all straight up pandemonium, like any other place. So I'm glad for that, but it's not like he's out of the woods yet. Yeah, we keep him occupied with things that'll keep him out of the streets, but kids are kids. We've all been there... That rebellious era. Chasing & tryna impress the wrong type of girls put me in some precarious positions unnecessarily when I was coming up. I survived by a combination of common sense and luck. I just tell my kid all the time to make good choices and never be afraid to hit me up if he finds himself in a crazy position. *Edit to Add:* As an adult, I've run into cats that I used to beef with. Once at work, and another time while taking a class at my union hall. And it's all love. Both times we've talked about how senseless a lot of the shit we used to be involved in was. Like I told someone else in the comments, cooler heads usually prevail with maturity, but so many impulsive ass kids don't live to make it to that point, smdh.

This is sad, I’m from the Bronx and have hung out in these areas, and I’m sure I’m not the only one to have friends and family from some of these places. But an unpopular opinion and even unspoken truth is that for some of these individuals, this is an escape for them and possibly fun. For some, conforming to street life is better than having nothing. Home situations are most likely terrible, financially unstable, parents aren’t around… It’s an ideal situation to come up with someone who has similar struggles to you, there’s comfort in Misery. These guys really do form Strong bonds, they hustle together they fight together, even wear each others clothing..it really does go that deep. A lot of my friends I grew up with didn’t care about school because they made enormous amounts of money from scamming and other forms of hustling . They could virtually do whatever they wanted. That lifestyle is very enticing, that’s not even including the popularity from the occasional rapping. It’s sad but A lot of these kids do feel untouchable

Kids around us though, their parents didn't care. Seemed to love the drugs more than their kids, and those kids grew up to be a bad way. To this day, the hardest thing I've ever done is shrooms and I did it once. Don't even smoke cigarettes. Don't have a record, have a job and money which is unheard of where I come from. A single mother can absolutely do more for their kids than people like to let them think. Ik plenty of families of single moms whose kids went a bad way, and those moms are ratchet.

I may be from a white place, but still a poverty and crime stricken place where prison, crime, and death are all too common. I'm raised by single women exclusively, and as I said have never had the legal trouble or crime or drug trouble of many of those around me, because the women who raised them were ratchet. It has nothing to do with their sex. It's their character. Hood moms are almost certainly overwhelmingly ratchet women, and the ones who aren't, probably have better kids.

Growing up in pelham but molded by university/e Tremont. We did our dirt, did shady things, but we let the younger ones believe it was cool, thus making them more savage then we were. Growing up I always had OGs try to mentor me and teach me things other than gang banging but when they started moving, dying getting locked up...no one had the mentality to mentor the youth you see now. That's why they are beyond reckless. Kay Flock starring shit in other opps hoods, if he was under my OG at the time, Kay would've gotten the shit slapped out of him by OG and the whole block.

@@WalterWhite-df2hh alot the gang members are in their mid teens to Very early 20s. Almost all of them are on social media and brag about their opps and the beef they have. Alot of people give them attention in views and followers and as such it fuels their egos. Back in the day it was violent sociopaths who bragged about it to their friends. Nowadays its violent and Vapid sociopaths who brag about to their followers and viewers who can number from 50 to 2 million, which causes them to chase for more attention which means more reckless bullshit, more shooting and tragically more dead men, women and even children.

[@isabellacordova6604]

Sad to see it this way. I grew up in the Bronx for the first ten years of my life, but I never imagined it to get much worse. I knew it was ramping up again in the Bronx , when my dad was walking to his car after work, to find that someone had broke into his car, stole hundreds of dollars worth of high quality barber equipment, and to top it all off, a shattered window. I can't even say I'm from the Bronx without someone from a different borough, or hell even state, assuming I'm "dirty" because i grew up there, even though I now live in a quiet town across the GWB. Lucky are we to have proper guidance to prevent ourselves from falling into this never-ending circle of violence. But yes, at the end of the day, everyone is responsible for their actions. I fear for my dad, a hard working man, working in the Bronx. A few weeks ago, there was an active shooter at his job - fired bullets but thankfully no one got hurt. Dangerous times we live in. It makes you feel for all the hard working people who are trying to make a living, while having to see the city around them grow heavy with crime again.

Man, growing up in The Bronx was wild. I was from Soundview but went to school in Castle Hill. Things were popping off everyday with stabbings, jumpings, and just general gang activity. It really was like living in an open air prison. You either get down or move out the way, but you gotta know someone. I ended up getting stabbed 5 times (I had just turned 15) and that's when my mom had enough and sent me to FL. I wasn't even in a gang, but I got caught up between my friends in the Ruff Ryders and Crips beefing with this Dominican gang that was a lot bigger before the Trinitarios took over the Dominican scene. There is no such thing as being neutral once you are seen hanging with certain groups.
