If you have something to say about gangs or streetgangs on our message boards click here. "I'm a forty- three year old man who thought he was cool, when young with a strapp in his hand. Trying to always beat a rival gang. My mind was so corrupted with lies from so called friends? Voicing out "your our homie ese" we got your back! when I choose to be in a gang fight,my homies? had all jumped the fence running away like cowards, I stood my ground and took a severe beating which resulted in two weeks of hospital treatment. Don't believe those who say their your family and have your back, trust your true family who will always be there for you when your in need. Peer pressure can be avoided, stay away from negative influences and you will be okay. Words of encouragement by an OG ex-gang member. God bless!!!" Riose "this life is not cool dont live up to the stereotype. Poverty sucks but bein in a gang aint gona make things better." 12 gage "No one owns you and you dont own nobody. No one has the right to control your thoughts. We joined because we had no one at home and we looked to each other for that love and protection,but, how are we protecting our selves and the ones we love by tryn to control whos time is up over a street name or color. God Bless the Gang members who don't or cant seem to follow in your steps right now protect them and their family and may they someday relize that they are loved by You Lord and by me.Amen" Anon "From my lifestyle that I lived,being in gangs and prison was all bad! I have always lived a life of regret,I can only speak for myself on this. It has always been a image builder to try and be someone I was not, just to be accepted by others,ALL BAD !! Since I have been with my savior life has been so good to me. AMEN! I slay stinking demons everyday that my lord gives me,if it be in the barrio,in the ghetto or any where I go..And for this reason is because,it is the SOULS,that my heavenly father wants!! " OG "The way out is not by guns and violence. It is by using our minds. Educate yourself." EZ-T Living crazy is said to be a hard life, and people want respect for it. But Im coming real when I say trying to live like a normal member of society is hard. That deserves respect. Not throwing yourself to drugs, violence, gangs etc. Anyone can do that. Anyone can beat someone up or shove powder in their nose, or shoot a gun. Does anyone feel me?. Dana all tha people I grew up with includin me were or are bangers- my whole family. I'll tell you now we've either died in it or always wished ta get out of it. I never met anybody who was really out of it. they may have got out tha gang but not tha drugs or violence or jail or poverty. once you're in you're never out. this isn't a cool life, it's a piece of shit one an I hate it. Smiley no More But gangs, that mess is too dangerous to experiment with. If you werent brought up in it, thank the Lord and stay away from it. Its not protection, its wearing a target on your head, its not love its false loyalty from people who are just as lost as you are. Dana "Respect and pride was what i wanted, fear and violence was how i got it, Back then that was all i wanted, back then that was all i needed, I followed this lifestyle without a care in thr world, not knowing if I would live the next day to see my girl,I fought other gangs for territory,not realizing i was only fighting my brother, I finally realized i wasnt meant to be in the royal family(LK), I just want other kids to know they are not meant to be there either and if ur already in Plz try to get out, if u think on getting in...plz dont....u think its gona be fun?

The Kryz "Maybe things would have been different if I would have changed a long time ago, maybe my brother wouldn't be 6 feet underground, so think about it. Nancy "if u can get out and go far, this life aint worth it, its more pain and sufferin than power, and respect. its to late for me but you new ones or wanna bes u see one side but it aint worth it when ur on a hospital bed, or being watch by the 5.0 waitin for u to slip. sure ita ll good in the being and you wear your shit proud but just wait till it hits home cause u cant cry just keep rollin untill u die.

There are so many other things out there in life for you." Tina "I want to personally thank all of you who have helped me this past few months. I was so into gangs when I got to the site, so into hurting people and seeing people in pain just because they wore a certain color, lived in a certain neighborhood, or dressed in a certain way. I grew up and now I don't care what set you are in, I have even made friends since comin to the site, with people who are folks, latin kings, bloods even. Bloods were my worst enemies, since then though I have realised by comin to the site, we all have the same fears, worries, pain and anger, so why hate on top of that?"...Shadow "As we speak I cry because I feel the life a few of us lead may not be the best, but we dream of a better life."

WHC+BG "Rest in peace to all my loved ones caught in the battle of the streets.

Lista "It almost seems like his boys and his colors rule his life, and that's not fair to the ones who love him." Coppertop "I've been shot, stabbed, almost to the point of dying and still don't come to my senses. I spend my time mostly in jail because of the violent and criminal things that I DO." Kinglost "I miss you with all my heart, we was homies for a good amount of time and I am always going to carry your love and my own love for you in my heart!!" Shadow "If knowing gang life was so surrounded by death, I don't know how anyone could WANT to get into a gang." Miss Moni "Soldiers fight because someone orders them to fight... Fighters fight to achieve their selfish desires... Warriors fight to protect the weak from both the soldiers and the fighters." "I know what it is like to go out at 3 in the morning to go get revenge on someone who shot up your boy, I know what it is like to see them come back around to shoot up another of your boys. The gang life is an endless battle with no victories on either side. You may believe that you are better than a member of your rival gang, but that is most likely the same thing that they are thinking. No one lives forever, you're born, you live, you die. We can't change that. The thing that bothers me though is that I see all these kids out there in a hurry to get to the top, only to find that they are sinking deeper. " "Whats up? My name's Tbone Im a Duece Cryp From Chicago. I wish every day i could take back the stupid shit ive done but i cant. Hopefully one day i will be at peace.

Herkin "i have lost so many people due to this gang shyt and i'm tired of funerals. i'm so use to death that i don't even mourn no more. dis life done made me cold hearted and i had gotten to the point where i didn't have a conscience...no remorse at all.then when my two year old niece got hit with a stray bullet i told myself that it was time to make a change. time to put the gunz to the side cuz innocent people die over stupid shyt and i don't wanna be the cause of that. i've made too many mothers cry and i refuse to let another tear be shed because of me. yall need to stand up and do the same thing, ya heard me. stop playin' games yo cuz little kids are lookin' up to us and sayin' dang i wanna be like them. i wouldn't recommend dis life for nobody. are yall really ready to be role models? can you live with yourself knowing that some little kid is looking at you and making a decision that they wanna "gang-bang" when they get a lil' older. i can't deal with that kind of guilt. wake up yall, for real.....time's out for fun and games" BabyGirl "i cry gangsta tearz thinkin bout da love and care in this site."

Not that Tv snoop dog rap video shit. this is foreal. it is HELL." Leon J "I writing you tonight because I'm tired. Tired of losing friends too young, tired of kids killing kids. A young g that I've been working with, trying to get him out of the hood got gunned down the other night 'cuz he wanted out. Frankie C wanted out enough that he went and got his tattoo's removed, ready to start his new life. Killed in the streets because he wanted out. He was 17, lucky that he'd lived that long, and dyin' when he finally had a chance. Sometimes it scares me to think I used to understand the logic that went into this shit. Now, at 36 it makes me feel 106.R.I.P Frankie C." Lito "I've lost too many soulja's to the street. Unless you grew up around gangs you really don't know what they're all about.

Capone "I've been shot stabbed and almost dead none of this has affected me and you think it should Ive had blood of the enemy on my hands. You cant kill all the Crips and you cant kill all the Bloods its like why cant we wake up and see we're dyin for nothing and killin for nothing we need to stop this drama cause killin aint gonna help nothin" Snoopy "I am an ex Crip who has been out of the game since 1997. Was it Easy?? NO!!! but it was something I needed to do not only for myself but my family. All I want to say is It can be done.
