The thing is, my parents don't need to be so strict, because I know right from wrong. Some parents really worry over the slightest things and they don't understand their kids. Take, for instance, the kids who join gangs, the gang bangers. Most gang bangers feel unwelcome at home and it's tough for them, too. That's what parents don't realize.
Some parents build up so much pressure on their kids that the kids turn to their friends.
That's when their friends encourage them to do drugs. Teenagers will be teenagers, and if they have no place to go, then some will most likely take dope. If we do something wrong or slightly bad, the other races out there assume that we're bad, but we're not.
