Gangs!


Some words to describe gangs... Intimidating, violent, criminal, threatening, drug related, music related, friendly?, malicious, illegal, immoral, addicted, dangerous.

A lot of young people have no choice but to hang around the streets, parks, towns.

Although some people choose this as their option, People choose to sell and take drugs. Some people choose to steal, cause harm physical, emotional and mental. Some people not just yobs http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/anti-social-behaviour/ choose to be anti social and intimidate others, residents and other innocent members of public.

I sympathise with some individuals who may have been pushed into bad situations and feel unable to get out. Poverty can drive some people to bad and desperate measures along with drug/drink addiction/ social pressure, peer pressure.
Some people are attracted to this 'life' maybe for the money, rebelling against society and the law, the feelings drugs give you, peers or 'popular people'


SOMETIMES the area in which we live can be directly linked to the path we choose, our rights and wrongs and our choices. We must be strong enough not to confirm to the 'bad' ways of society.

I witness young people turning roads, going from being on the right track with their futures ahead of them, nice families with money to support them, good education or potential education and something changes or they meet he wrong people or they are just looking to escape and they turn to crime, drink, drugs and violence. This is one thing... if it is just a faze but when it forms your future it is a MASSIVE problem and these kids/ adults need help, the temptation must be taken away so that good people do not throw their lives away for bad reasons, bad futures, bad lives and bad people.
