I grew up in the ghetto,got into tons of fights.
Got shot at once, and stabbed once also,but disarmed the attacker in 5 other incidents,spanning from teen to adult.
It`s like MuscleMcMannus said,you can`t back down if you are forced to live there as a kid because you have to go outside sometime.
Also,like Mak,said,people should learn how to defend themselves at an early age..............it`s a cold blooded world.
