does it really feel good to be a gangsta?

I can not believe that it is a truly good feeling for anyone in the long run. Oh, you may get some temporary thrill but you don't feel good in the long run and that is what keeps you going in that direction.If you felt good about yourself and your life you would not need that type of fulfillment. It is cheap and dangerous thrills that will take you away from anything that can possibly bring you real peace and happiness. You are playing a real fools game. You will never win. You are lost in the wilderness and need to trust someone to help show you the way to get out of that path. Best of luck.

It's the Emperor's New Clothes syndrome.  Of course the Emperor is naked, but do you want to be the one to say it?  Gangstas are idiots!  People who buy the music are mindless sheep.  The people who profit from selling the music to our youth are murderers.  I believe they will all pay a precious price for their acts.  But be realistic, a lot of people are getting rich, and money makes the World go around.  There I said it.  Happy?  I'm glad you are awake.  I often feel like I live in a land of zombies.

I think that it has to do a lot with wanting to be liked and respected. Gangstas are in style now so people will try to be gangstas, but some try to be emo, or punk or whatever they think they will be accepted as.

The fact that you are asking if you should become a gang member is telling me that you have doubts. It is better to save a life, than to take one. Gang life ends up in death, prison, or jail.  You have a purpose in life. Surround yourself with friends that are doing the right things. A friend is someone who is going to positively lift you up. Take care.

Well, a good place to start is by picking an inner city community, which can stay anonymas of course, and see what types of activities are avialable for kids in the community. Also, look into the reason why gangs start in the first place, which is a lack of feeling they have a loving supportive "home", or that they need "protection" from other gangs who prey on any one not already in a gang and under that gangs "protection". Sadly, if you are not in  a gang, all gangs think of you as "fair game" and you get targeted by all the gangs, without any protection. Kids in inner city communities are at extreme risk these days. They have to be affiliated by the age of seven or eight or they are getting beat up and robbed on a daily basis, just walking to school or trying to play outside. \n\nIt is great you picked such a difficult issue to write about. However, this is a huge issue, so perhaps if you focused on just one portion of the issue instead of attempting to address the whole issue compleatly. Maybe talking about how it all starts with an unbroken home, where children receive love and attention, don't have to come home to an empty house due to both parents needing to work just to put food on the table, by talking about how our contries minimum wage does not even get a two parent working family out of poverity levels, and how child care is so expensive that one half or more of one parents wages go to paying for it. Talk about how organizing after school programs can provide a safe and educational as well as fun alternative for children to attend rather than going home to an empty house, and that affordable safe childcare would assist families in feeling OK in placiing their children in daycare and not have to worry about them being abused while they are at work. Talk about how drugs are ruining our children and their futures, how gang life does not really provide a "family" for those children from broken homes or abusive homes, that the gang members just want the new younger members to do crimes that the older members would be tried as adults for. talk about how our society is throwing away our children by trying ever younger children as adults, when any logical thinking person KNOWS a fifteen or sixteen or fourteen or thirteen or twelve year old is just NOT an adult, no matter the severity of their crime. That trying them as adults does not stop crime at all, nor is the death penalty a deterant to murder. It is only government sactioned murder in and of itself. \n\nAs you can see, you did indeed pick a huge issue here. However it is one that needs to be discussed and discussed some more, and then some more. We need to communicate that this IS not a civilized world, no matter how many people wish it were and get angry at anybody who dares to break their little bubble of deluded belief that it is. \n\nWhen seven and eight year olds HAVE to join a gang, just to find safety from the gangs in their communities or become victims of violence on a daily basis, then NO our society is not "civilized". Period. \n\nGood for you to want to bring awareness of this huge issue, and good luck in writing your paper and giving your presentation.

Well to tell you the truth it makes me feel good about myself. I am 16 and my familys rich but i love the feeling of making money on my own! And plus its a false sense of being wanted for the short time period. i would never give it up for the world.

You mean he's your little shadow? If so, the biggest compliment is someone who wants to be like you. If you feel that you'd be a good role model, then do it. It's better you than some street thug.

Man, awesome picture, seriously.  I'd say you were a success with that, so how does it feel?\n\nTo me, success feels like suede.  I've heard other people describe the feeling more as silkish though, so I guess it's a little different for everyone.  \n\nPride feels a little warm and kinda bumby.  Everyone I know says that's how it feels to them so I should be right on there. \n\nHang in there and put a shirt on, you'll feel these things soon enough.\n\nRyan

i am just like u. I feel like i don't do anything right. If some people think you are a goof, they will just have to live with it. Real good people do not care what is on the out but what is on the in. Take that into consideration when somebody tries to make fun of you.\n\n         You may not be a goof, you may just think you are and other people could think you are really cool.

Is it the color that get you in gang, or your choice?. Don't be stupid. And STOP the damn stereotyping. Not all Black people are gangs, I see gangs of all races. And IT IS NOT the color that makes you a gang, it is your decision. You are one stupid kid my friend..seriously.

They were never cool and never will be. The only people who want to be in gangs are losers who are not man enough to handle their own lives by themselves and have to rely on a group to protect them. Snoop Dogg is the biggest loser there ever was.
