I almost got recruited into a gang.

Let me explain. I live near what can best be described as a hood, where it’s not uncommon to see people dealing drugs in broad daylight. Today, on my way home from school, I was walking from the bus stop to my house when a car slowed down beside me and the driver rolled down his window.

He asked me simple questions like “Hello,” “How are you doing?” and, weirdly enough, “Where do you live?” At first I thought he might be a pedo, so I ignored him. He then said that his mom lived down the street and drove off.

When I got home, I told everything to my mom. She explained that gangs in the neighborhood have been recruiting teens my age, and that many young people living there are involved in a local drug cartel.

So yeah.
