Well hope will only get you so far. Hope is nothing more then thoughts from lazy people who coast through life.

Being pro-active and becoming committed to a course of action is what get things accomplished. I don't have Hope for my child. I have goals.

It's not Staten Island. It's the people who live here that give this place the reputation. People who just had hope that things would work themselves out with their own children. Well because of that attitude this is what we have now. we don't have a lost generation. We have two lost generations of parent's and their Children. I didn't cause it and i'm sure not part of it and I will make sure my kid is raised the same way I was. Why? Because I said earlier I turned out pretty God Damn awesome. Not many people can say that.

Every 5 days now someone is dying of a drug overdose on Staten Island. 1 in 3 people are using. This article is good, however you can Google this and find out more.

1 in 3 using? Haha, good one. This place would be a war zone if 1/3 of the population was using heroin.

I read your article TWICE. Nowhere does it include your 1/3 figure or any other regarding overall heroin use within the population here. If you want to back up your claim with evidence, go right ahead.
