Hard Knock Life
I believe it would affect them in life because everyone around them including peers and adults make bad choices in their everyday life. When they are ready to make a choice they wouldn't know whats right from wrong because in their life style everyone around them is making wrong choices. If your from the projects i believe that it would be harder to make it out than being in the suburbs because in the suburbs there isn't as much as much gang violence. In the projects there is gangs right outside your door and maybe even your own family. So even if there trying to get out they would be peer pressured by their family members to join a gang.

Nik, this is a solid point. When everyone around a person is making what the general public perceives to be bad choices, how can we in turn even know what the good choice is? However, I think that many morals are built within us, at least that we know that we are dealing with a "wrong" situation. So, what does it take to not get tangled in a bad choice. We all make bad choices, yet the degree to which a bad choice jumps from the normal, everyday bad choice, to the violent bad choice, is when the territory becomes trickier to define.
I agree with you Nik, its hard to do the right thing when everyone around you is doing wrong. Peer pressure, man. especially if your from the projects where your surronded by people doing the wrong thing. but youve got to remember what your mama told you. nik, if your friends jump off a bridge does that mean you have to do it?
