In your opinion, how does "bullying" play a role in becoming a gang member? Is teasing and bullying a factor to becoming angry and joining a gang?

Arika

Arika:

You'll be surprised that not many bullies join gangs. It's the persons being bullied who often join to have that feeling of being protected and having up. In other words, have someone else fight their fight or intimidate anyone from picking on them. So, yes, bullying is a factor to becoming angry, scared and joining a gang for the protection it offers.

Before you got into a gang, did you know a lot of people in the gang?

Almost everyone I knew was down with something or someone. Not all in the same spot, but that’s how it was.

I want to know why gangsters need to get a tattoo when they get in the gang.

People get tattoos because they symbolize things. If it's your gang, then you're expressing your loyalty and saying that you won't rank out.
