Every country has gangs, crime and violence. That fact can't be denied. Yes, some countries are safer than others but the existance of this dark side of population will always carve a few numbers on their count on every land.
I am a person that believes that to know something that is going on now, you need to know when it started happening, and moreover; why?
Let's take the united states for example, it isn't the place that this humble writer knows in regards of gang violence but as being easier to refrain than my own country I decided to use it.
Some people complain about gang violence in dangerous zones of the US, but why this happened? first reason wasn't them. It was racism. And that's how I start the story.
Dear reader I want you to imagine what I ask you to. You are a preteen, you and your family just left from a country categorized as from the third world. They spend the few dollars they managed to gather by finding a house and some decent food. So far so good...
Now this. No matter how ready you are to level up there is a glitch. On your way to school you are called names based on your physical appearance. (I wont place any example due to my deep respect to all people). How do you feel? Well don't worry yet because now these who call you names come in a group of 4 to more to punch you, kick you and... of course keep inventing new and more offensive names.
Of course my friend, I don't understand either why they do this to you. Their blood is as red as yours and you need they same oxigen as yours and they need to eat the same food otherwise they will die the same way you could.
It's confusing, as everyone turn their backs on you. But wait, there are more being called the same names as you and they want you close to them and you want them close to you, you start HANGING out with them because nobody else wants to. They seen to be doing bad things but you don't care. Why? because they are the only ones who talk to you and give you support.
Go back reader, because you were about to join a gang...
This happened a thousand times, with no explaination or reason it happened, nobody regrets it now they just complain about the plage they created.
Dear reader, maybe there's no way to stop what is already done, but you can do something different now. Now you know the origin and is not funny. Clean it, give a hand to those who are hated for no reason, give a hand to those who felt the silence of your back. Let's make no more gangs, let's all be as we were supposed to be. All humans.
