someone preaching their suburb hard times to me is just comical, I'd say to them: "you just sound like a spoiled ass punk trying to make your clown ass "rough times" sound like tragedies" they just sound like a big ass bitch.

I'm not trying to say the burbs is worse then the ghetto and everyone there is living a hard life. But I am saying that there are some people in the burbs who's lives are as rough as others living in the ghetto.

ok, so we agree. Am I missing something here, or what?

I mean a suburban kid shouldn't have to say "sure my parents are getting a divorce, my best friend died, i got molested, I'm failing in school, I'll never be able to walk again, I'm a drug attict, and I get jumped everyday, but at least I have food on my table and a roof over my head. " It just seems rediculous to me.

dude you can't even compare those two and for you to even think that shows that you have no idea what the ghetto is like. know what? you should be thankful for that.

They're kicked out of their home, and if they try and come back their parents will call the cops on them. They're stuck on the streets, homeless. What's worse is, they can't go home, but they can't be on the streets either because their drug boss is looking for the money he's been owed for weeks, and if he or any of his boys catch these kids, without the money, then they're going to break every bone in their bodies. To add to that, the cops are looking for them too, because they have a warrant on their names for breaking an entering. Why? Well, if you're on the street with cops and drug bosses looking for you, you can't sleep, you need to always be on the move, and to not sleep for weeks straight requires drugs like ecstasy or speed to keep you up for the night. But you have to pay for drugs right? Where does that money come from? Ah yes, the houses that were broken into and robbed ofcourse.
