Pick the red pill or blue pill

When growing up in the ghetto it must be very difficult for you to live the life you would like to live. This is because since there are so many guns and gangs shooting one another you are always getting stuck in the middle. But the choice of either grabbing a gun or sit there and hope that a bullet does not catch you is probably one of the the tough decisions of your life. If you grab the gun you are killing for no reason but survival and if you sit there you you may randomly die but you are not losing your self to an ongoing fight.
Places like the ghetto are filled with bright and talented kids, but people see a lot of people come from the ghetto and think they are in gangs and label them. Then there are the kids from the suburbs who are also bright and talented but don't get much labeling. That is why we should drop labels and see all people as what they are, not what you think they are from just looking at were they grew up. Honestly though people have been asking people to stop judging for years and it has not changed much, do yo think it ever will?

I really like how you emphasize how you can get stuck in the middle. You did a good job at explaining the way the kids are portrayed. I really dont think the labeling will ever stop. In all honesty I think it will grow.

I like how you stated that we just need to stop the judgements and really figure out who people really are. It would make this world such a better place.
