I grew up in a I guess average low income inner city apartment complex here in Maryland. It was mainly me and my mom growing up and I had no father. The place where we lived it had gang members, prostitutes, and the regular drug busts by the police. Both me and mom didn't let where we lived hinder our ambitions to move out of that complex though.
It was kinda sad though because I grew up with close friends but in their eyes all they saw of themselves were gang members and drug dealers. We lived there for about 8 years then moved out and lived in a nicer apartment complex. In the end though I grew up in a ghetto environment I never let it make me who I was. Drugs, guns, violence, I seen it all and I never wanted to be involved in any of it.
I find it really sad seeing a whole slew of the younger generation wishing to partake in this whole inner city urban attitude.
