Growing up in a Ghetto – Disadvantage

Hi guys, listen up for second…

Last day we posted the good things about growing up in a ghetto.

Well, growing up in a ghetto is not easy at all.

The link http://www.thetrephine.com/2011/08/21/the-poverty-perspective-part-1-growing-up-ghetto/ tells us about a guy named Jen who has living in a ghetto. He explains the “ghetto life” and what he has seen. The kids in his neighborhood had experienced parents killing each other, violence, rape and shooting. Some of  the houses had no front door and it all seen broken. When you know how bad the world can be in as young an age, you will not trust anybody in the future.

Ghettokids are bored and they have nothing to do. They only have each other, so they become “brothers”. The kids are going into gangs, where they exercise violence, crime and rapes. The kids families are poor, so they can not pay to schools. The kids getting Dumb and use crime to get money and appreciation. It is all in a evil circle, because the kids are not in able to broke the social inheritance.

peace out!!!

  1. You need something that can take this children out of the ghetto. It’s hard to be and live in a ghetto, but afterall i think that everyone has the opportunity to get out of it.
    I think something like for example SPORT is a good thing, because it can keep the kids from the “ghetto world”, and put their focus elsewhere.

    • I think you are right. Sport can be used to get away from a ghetto. The NFL player Michael Oher is an example. He lived in a ghetto and had a really tough childhood. He discovered his talent for football. Today he plays for Baltimore Ravens, which means he just won the Superbowl final.
