Ok now hear me out: i don’t want to do anything like rob people or anything stupid like that. I want to stay outta that shit, but the type of lifestyle i life plus the fact that i don’t like taking shit from anybody, im afraid that one day i’m gonna get myself beat up bad, or jumped, or even killed. It seems like the only way to stay safe now and days is if you have a group you hang around with. Otherwise you’re a victim.

Like where i live is kinda rough. At school its even worse cuz everyone wants to be the fake gangbanging type (im 17), you could accidentally touch someone in the hallway and they’ll make a scene about it, and if you dare stand up for yourself you’re either gonna end up getting jumped or shot.

I could move of course but it seems like everywhere i go trouble follows. Its like people always want to try and mess with me and when i say/do something about it, they want to turn it into a murder scene. It lowkey has me scared cuz i know so many people who have been fucked up or lost their life just because they were by themselves. I don’t want this to happen to me one day.

I’m moving to FL in a few months so i won’t really know anybody, and the part im going to i heard nobody really messes around like that. So I’m considering joining a gang, or at least a close group of friends that will always have my back. How do i do so?
