Personal*****

If i was ask for any of my family members to join a gang i will aways say no . If any of my family members ask me to join a gang , for me this mean that they dont really care about me . In my opinion gangs just bring death and violence and unhappiness. And if any of my family knowing this come and ask me to join this means that they really dont care about my safety and security.
Even if they preasure me to join i would aways stay with my mind set in not joining . In my personal opinion many of the gangs memebers join because of peer preasure , their freinds make them join by telling them that everybody is joining in and that this is was cool now and that kind of nonsense, that's why many people join because of peer preasure , another reason why people join is beacuse of problems they have at home or at work . Many people see gangs at a way to get away from their problems , a gang is like their family for some of this people . They portect each other , like from the book Freedom Writters , were that girl say that they dont care if they need to die or suffer , is all weath it for the best of their gang , their raza/race. But in many cases like the one in Freedom Writters , a lot of gang members die and after that their memebers forget them quick cuz for them they were lucky and should has die with pride beacuse they died for the best of their raza , their barrio . You see me i thinks this is crazy , giving their lifes away for a meanless war between races , many lives were lost because of this . That's why i will never join a gang , even if family , friends , and peer preasure is aways there to preasure my decision.
