Answer 1

Cuz dey stoopid!

Dumb, lazy, unmotivated, losers, all these terms are accurate.

Answer 3

Answer 4

to scare people like you.

Answer 5

Because it is much easier than getting an education, staying out of trouble, working for a living,and making something positive out of your life.

Answer 6

Gang bangers are full of excuses as to why they choose that life style... (I dont have a dad/mom, my parents dont care about me, I dont have a choice this is where I grew up "my hood") In reality its all BS! stupid excuses that have no validity whatsoever.  They choose that lifestyle as an easy way out.  Low life losers, that have nothing good to do with their time.  They only have 2 outcomes, to be DEAD or end up in JAIL!

Answer 7

Some people don't have the proper guidance coming up. Some boys that don't have a father growing up will look to other male influences whether its good or bad.It's basically about peer pressure too. People do what they see other people doing. Some feel they have no other choice, if they are around gangs and are threatened to get beat up everyday they will feel like they will have to join the gang instead of getting beat up everyday.

Answer 8

It is the environment they are brought up in most times.  If you raise your kids with no dreams or goals, or in a neighborhood with other bad influences you get a gang banger.

Some of the parents are on Welfare and live in Section 8 houses.  Not to say that is a bad thing but when you take advantage of the system and show your kids it is ok to have no motivation to have a job then you breed more lazy people.

Lazy people = no job = trouble = drug selling & guns.  Then they drop out of school paired with lack of supervision at home and you have a thug.

Want to give me a thumbs down for this answer?  Come stay at my house for a week.  We live on a beautiful tree lined street with Victorian homes and young professionals.  LITERALLY turn the corner half a block up and you see the above stated company.

They are up all night blasting music and yelling. They sleep all day long.  I struggle to pay my bills yet they all have direct tv, Escalades and Navigators and flat screen TV's. It is also awesome to hear them shooting each other out in front of my house.

If their parents bring them up thinking this is ok then this will continue until people stand up and take responsibility for themselves and their actions.  Our city had to install the "shot recorder" just so they could get to the 13 year old shooting a gun on a busy street faster.  Nice, I’m sure he wasn’t influenced by his lovely friends.

Like I said, come stay with me for a week and then tell me you disagree.  i love my street and my home but I wish the riff raff would disappear...

Answer 9

well sometimes it has a lot to do with how they were raised.

Their family, friends, or even people around them can influence their way of living. But this is not always true people make their own choices and they know right from wrong.

Answer 10

This is all they are exposed to.Contrary to stereotypes,most don't want to call the streets home.I grew up in a tough inner city neighborhood,and when you are at the bottom,you don't get exposed to virtaully any of the programs that suburbia,or private schools are accustomed to.The media plays a role.Nobody wants to risk there life for a few measley rocks,but it is some people's only way of feeding themselves,and their families.DON'T JUDGE THINGS BY IT'S APPEARANCE ALL THE TIME.We all make choices though.

Answer 11

Lack of parenting/guidance, lack of discipline, looking for a family because they lack one at home, lack of education, have to join them to prevent being targeted by them.  Insecurity-feeling like they have something to prove, and can't figure out more constructive ways to prove themselves.  Anger/self control issues, once again going back to parenting and upbringing. Just my thoughts.

Almost forgot to mention that none of these reasons in any way justify their behavior and/or the things they do.  In the end,the choice is theirs to make.
