Sadly my knowledge is first hand....I used to live in Vallejo:eek: Rockford:eek: Fort Worth:eek: And Bremerton:eek:......:eek: = HOOD!...lol I live in Richland:D now though:ROFL::ROFL:

haha thats awesome! well in grew up in central CA, that whole place is just hood nasty. being from the hood is good, makes you understand life better and be humble as opposed to a sheltered existence where you have no clue what goes on the real life a.k.a. 'the streets' :)

I lived the first 10 years of my life in a reaaaaally bad neighborhood (saw people's necks slashed from my bedroom window), and have been in good hoods ever since. Some people use the word "sheltered" derogatively...I wouldn't trade it for anything

My children are sheltered, and hopefully learn nothing about the hood, or the streets....I will tell them what they need to know, but other than that, they will be fine without it IMPO

being from the "hood" seems cool thats why i feel lame being all posh and middle class :(
saying that i have alot of knowledge about poor places as a few people in my family are from deprived areas i kinda have to change my accent a little tho to fit in otherwise i'd get beat up by bigger girls :( lol


really going to bed now! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
yeah didnt meant that in a negative manner, but sometimes being "sheltered" too much can be a bad thing. some people can be very close-minded and live in denial about what really happens in society. im just glad i know both extremes of it...

Rachel, in brasil the biggest discrimination isn't race...it's class discrimination. There is nothing cool about being poor, going to prison, or having gotten all doped up. When I see rappers flaunting those things like they are what you want in life I realize how stupid it is. Spizz is 110% correct. You will learn about the bad things in life one way or another. I would rather have had a childhood where I knew only the good things, because knowledge of the bad comes eventually, and when you are ready for it.

no need to feel lame. and no, you dont have to be from the 'hood' to be cool! you should feel fortunate that you have the life you do. im just saying i dont have any regrets from my earlier days
 
I ran with the crowd in high school and after High school in Greenville a.k.a. "da ville" not anymore though I have moved away to more "sheltered" places lol...
