good article. I didnt start gettin therapy til senior year of HS. and that was 6 years ago. it stopped when I graduated.

shyts just all fukked up in california not just oakland. this a warzone and children is being affected by that. Just growing up as a kid I went through some shyt. when I was 5 Swat raided my moms house looking for her brother and had guns with flashlights on em aimed at me n my little brothers face. when I was like 8 or 9 I saw a dude get laid out with a bullet in his head at the apartment complex I was living in. shootings happened alot too around me. Lost my friend since elementary school during Junior Year. he got shot. other high school friend got shot. older brother died in police custody. step brother got shot. I got shot at on 3 separate occasions.

alot of suburban nikkas and white nikkas look up gangsters and gangs as being cool and shyt, doing whatever you want... shyt really aint like that, always having to look over your shoulder never knowin if the next minute will be your last really fukks with your mind. makes you paranoid and shyt. I actually began talking to myself without even realizing it on some schizo type shyt because of it. cus I couldnt handle that stress. it breaks you.
