effvee :
mine was gang initiation at 12, jumped by 3 peers to see if I would fold under pressure
then sentencing to 18 mo in juvenile detention, where fighting was mandatory.
then as an adult, sentenced to 5 yrs in a medium prison where a larger gang demanded fighting and illicit cooperation in daily life, then another 8 yrs after being oit for 3 months of selling drugs and being a criminal. then another 3 yrs for crimes committed while incarcerated, assaults and contraband. then paroling to a girl I only knew thru pen pals, church and sobriety, then learning a new trade and working , then saving and buying property, then establishing relationships with strangers that were my family, then influencing my younger family to make better choices and be better than I ever was, then showing up to soccer/boxing/gymnastics/ballet events, spending my free time with the newest generation of my family, leaving criminal life behind me, life is a trip bit its also only what you make it. good luck, dont waste yoir time making bad choices. God bless
