Questions about Gang Life
Answers
Why am I so addicted to gang life? I personally love gang members and the
life they live I know that some things aren't good but just the feeling of
a rush feels hella firme! anyways I was introduced to gangs by some vatos
I kicked it with, I haven’t done any hard core drugs and all of mi ese's
don’t want me to touch that stuff. I’ve only drank and smoked some green.
I choose to hang out with gang members. It really doesn't matter to me of
all the bad things they do I just love being around hella down ass vatos,
some people might look at me as just a girl to pass around pero that’s
never happened to me I’m just not that kinda girl, I just really like
being around people who live on the edge. I've always been a sweet, smart
girl and ever since I’ve started hanging out with gang members I’ve been
doing bad in school and getting an attitude with anyone who gets in my way
especially people who talk smack because I’m white. To me it doesn’t
matter I’m down even though I’m not jumped in.

Dear La Whitey,
I don’t believe that it’s the gang life that captivates you. I believe
it’s the rawness of the energy these cats you hang out with emit. Gangs
are negative because they are not administered to by the elders of the
community. And see, gangs only exist because the elders in the community
didn’t have anything in place to initiate the youth of the community into
adulthood. As an attempt to initiate themselves (which can’t be done),
gangs were created. It’s that raw energy that you experience from these
cats that’s supposed to be administered to and cultivated by the elders of
the community. That doesn’t happen in this culture, and gangs are the
result.
My philosophy about life is that our spirits come to this human experience
to bring something (a gift) to this world that only they can bring. And
it’s our instincts and emotions that are more in tune with what our gifts
are than we are consciously (again this culture doesn’t promote that).
Like your - what you called an addiction to gangs - there is something
more to it, but as long as your attraction to gangs continues to have a
negative effect on your life, you may not ever learn what it’s really
about. You have to attach yourself to it in a manner that enhances your
growth. As long as it makes you do bad in school and brings out a meanness
to your otherwise sweet, smart character, you’ll never learn the true
meaning of your attraction to it.

La Whitey,
I almost didn’t respond to your inquiry, only because I felt there was no
getting through to you because of 2 reasons. One was because I am male and
two because I am a black male and everybody knows Blacks and Mexican gangs
are not friends. But then it hit me: if you’re smart enough to write and
ask questions, then you’re probably smart enough to listen (no
disrespect).
La Whitey, my name is Greg, and like yourself I am from the LA area. I’ve
been in prison now for 8 years behind gangbanging. I don’t have life, but
this feels like life.
To answer your question about why you’re addicted to this lifestyle, it’s
because you’ve been exposed to it. You’ve been exposed to a lifestyle that
allows you to act as an adult no mater what age you are. What kid wouldn’t
like that? You’ve been exposed to a lifestyle that seems famous and
well-respected because of fear. This lifestyle will pull in anybody who
feels abandoned by someone (mostly family members). If you feel abandoned
by anyone in your family, chances are you will be attracted to the
so-called gangster lifestyle.
I write you from prison. I am around a lot of your so-called homeboys (no
disrespect), and I’ll tell you this. They have it hard. Mexican gang
members have it harder than any other gangs. They are a lot more
organized, which is a lot more dangerous than any other gangs. Do yourself
a favor young lady, at least stay in school. Finish school with good
grades, and then go to college, and I promise you this: your good sense
will kick in by itself. And as for why you’re attracted to gangs - you
know why, and you know it’s not right. Take care and learn to love
yourself because self-love is “what’s-up”.

Are you still in a gang or did you change and get out? If not why? If so
how and what made you change?

No, I'm not in a gang anymore. I left that lifestyle because it is not my
life anymore. I came to face the facts that my homies won't be there for
me all the time. Like now, I don't get a letter from any of them. It's
like they don't know me anymore. I never thought that would happen but it
did.

No, I'm not in a gang anymore. I decided to change my life when I noticed
that my homies were only there for me when it was convenient and not when
I was in trouble or locked up. Only my family has always been by my side.
If one would stop and consider things, one would come to realize that
those who claim to be closest to you will be the ones who'll betray you
whether it be by going out with your partner or simply by taking
possessions, etc. If there's someone you can count on, it's family.

As for being in a gang, yeah I'm still in. I have a different perspective
on life than just shooting and robbing people though.
