Questions about Gang Life
Answers
Why did you change your mind about being in a gang?
Mrs. Moxley’s Class
It is not that I changed my mind about being in with my crew, but I do not
want other people in my family doing it. It is whack and leads to nothing
but heartache.

Is it true you have to either be beaten out of a gang or killed to get
out? I just don't understand why people would place themselves in this
situation.
Thanks - Lynn
Yes, it is true that you have to be beaten to get out of a gang. That is
only if you're lucky. Most gangs are not like that. Once you join, the
only way out is death. My only advice to you is not to join a gang. Don't
live that lifestyle, cause you'll regret it as you get older.

Hey Lynn,
Yes it is true that you have to be beaten or even killed to leave a gang.
Sometimes you may walk away but that's only if you have enough respect or
you tell them how it is and you want no part in it. What kind of friends
want to beat you in or out of a gang? It doesn't sound very logical. I'm
glad there are no real gangs over there in Ohio. Man, all that leaves you
is death, jail, or mental prison. I never understood myself. Why did I put
myself in that situation? I don't know and I think I could never answer
that. The only thing I could say is what am I going to do to get out of
that situation?... Think about it!...

How did you get out of the gang alive?
Mrs. Moxley’s Class
I got locked up.

When I came to prison, I tried not to let anyone know, but when I went to
this other spot, there were some people who knew me, so although I don’t
really hang with the others, I never really got out. Sometimes it don’t
work that way.

Did you have to get jumped out?
Mrs. Moxley’s Class
There was no getting “jumped out.” Once in, it is for life. If you deny
who you are, you get stitches.

What happens if you switch colors?
Mrs. Moxley’s Class
One does not switch “colors.” Betrayal can get you hurt really bad. Plus,
if you go over to the other side, no one will really trust you.
