The crime in these areas is distracting these kids from learning. Plus the PTSD that I mentioned earlier that I believe these kids have. In a lot of case, the kids don't choose the gangs. The gangs choose them. What I mean is that gangs force a lot of these kids to join by beating the crap out of them; threaten their lives if they won't join.
