You would be surprised as to how many people are actually in gangs or mafia groups.

Ghetto mentality isn't something you can just turn on and off

augh. between this and the cheating on his SAT thing...I dont think either one is that big of a deal in isolation but may show a greater whole into his lack of judgement. Get your head together kid, the city loves you, dont blow it

Actually, you're right.

It is not luck, but discipline.

One has to have a strong sense of moral behavior, common sense, and a ethical code, in order to stay away from these areas.

Derrick Rose has a God-given talent. He is making more money then he had ever never dreamed of, yet he is still hanging around certain elements that can be his potential downfall.

Seriously: He had the means and tools to get out of the hood. He should just leave it the heck alone.
