Teenagers & Gangs!

Gangs, gangs, gangs. Are in every city, state, and country. According to the Department of Justice's National Gang Threat Assessment, there are at least 21,500 gangs and more than 731,000 active gang members. Gangs are less prevalent in rural areas, in major cities, gang violence is responsible for roughly half of all homicides. Gangs are also becoming more savvy, using computers and other technology to commit their crimes.
There is teens who are not officially in the gang but they hang around with the gang members, and yet there is times when a cop captures a teenager and asks them if they are involved in a gang or related to a gang. The teens will response that, no they are not. Many teens are mistaken to be gang members because of there actions and ways to dress, when they are not. it was estimated that 49% of gang members were Hispanic, 37% were black, 8% white, 5% Asian and 1% are another ethnicity, also that gang membership is not as prevalent among youth as some fear. Between 1 and 2 percent of children ages 10 to 17 were gang members, although the percentage spikes when only "at-risk" youth are counted. Those that did join gangs didn't stay long, with the majority remaining in the gang for less than a year.
In fact there is so many reason why a teenager, or an adult is wanting to be in and part of a gang. If a young teen has a older sibling involved in a gang it is more likely for the younger to want to follow the step of the older and become a gang member as well.
Reasons why teens join gangs are:
•Peer Pressure
•Poverty
•Boredom
•Despair
Street gangs are not safe, they involve a lot of violence and drugs. Once someone joins a gang there introduced to the bad life. A life that can destroy their own without them even seeing it. Gangs have been going on for a very long time but as they keep going the more smarter and faster in committing crimes there getting. There is really no stop to this kids join them to seem more tougher and stronger. They tend to want to seek more attention, its not something fun or cool as most see it. Its something life changing.

June 14th, 1993 was the day my lovely mother gave birth to me. I was born and raised in Albuquerque NM, attend Atrisco Heritage Academy high. I have big goal and high expectations in life, yes there’s times when I just want to give up because of tiny bumps and holes that appear in my path. Yet I manage to get up and keep on walking.
     I’m a junior and I am 1 year behind because I had to take third grade twice. Why? You might be asking well since a Mexican family raised me of course I spoke only Spanish I was growing up, so I didn’t know how to read in English. Flunking really got me sad I was teased and bullied by my classmates who did make it to fourth grade but after a while I learned to ignore them. The bulling from elementary only made me stronger. Who am I? I am a Strong young girl. I got into drawling in middle school, I figured that drawling helped me forget about the world and just focus on what I feel or how I feel give my self time to think and forget. Who am I? A good Artist. Blank things I dislike passionately, I will do whatever a takes to decorate them or make them look pretty. Who am I? A creative person.
     If there’s a shelf full of books unorganized, the first thing i would do is go organize them. I dislike sloppy jobs, things done half way, and unorganized things. They tend to a displease me. When there’s a big project in class coming up id rather do it alone because half the times iv done it with partners I tend to not like there writing, coloring, drawling and most of all if there not thinking the same way as me. When I feel I am right I know I’m right, I really never dough myself. I strongly believe in my feelings and my instincts. Who am I? I am a thinker and a girl who believes a lot in her feelings a perfectionist.
    I love having lots of friends, meeting new people, and interacting with other. I hate to judge people from the outside if I yet haven’t met them from the inside. I100% rather be nice than mean. I have been bullied before in my past and is why now days I believe it is so wrong. I wouldn’t be able to stand around watching someone get bullied is who it is; I would do something about it. I don’t hold grudges for a long time I forgive easily. I’m pleased easily and never expect anything back when I do a favor. I think more then I forget. Who am I? I am a Honest nice kind, sweet lovable human being.

Who her mom means the world to her, who believes everything is possible, a kind happy person. Why am I me? Because everything my mom went trough made me, me Denisse Camargo Pacheco daughter of Lucero Pacheco and very proud of it!

My MBPi Personallity Test


   Portrait of an INFJ - Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging
(Introverted Intuition with Extraverted Feeling)
 
    As an INFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via intuition. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.
INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types.
   INFJs place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities in their lives. On the other hand, INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions. This is something of a conflict between the inner and outer worlds, and may result in the INFJ not being as organized as other Judging types tend to be. Or we may see some signs of disarray in an otherwise orderly tendency, such as a consistently messy desk.
INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them.

   -At first i thought "how can a test tell who you are"?
   But then to think about it its so true, as i was taking the test alot of questions went through my head. at the end it gave me four letters 'INFL' what I have learned from this four letters is that its tells exactly what i am. INFJ are creatice, kind and belive alot in there feelings. That is exactly wat i am and much more.

Bulling is N0T Right!!

Bullying is an act of repeated aggressive behavior in order to intentionally hurt another person, physically or mentally. Bullying is characterized by an individual behaving in a certain way to gain power over another person.
  • How many kids wake up in the morning and are afraid to go to school? An estimated 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students - 74% of kids report being bullied or teased each school year - 40% are frequent victims of bullying. 

      Who would think that a little girl at the age of 6, 7 years would be afraid o go to school. Having to wake up every morning looking forward to a stressful day full of bulling and mean comments from their own classmates. Sadly I was one of those kids in elementary remember I would cry because I had to be forced to go to school. As a young girl I didn’t have the privilege to have or  show off new cloths, I didn’t have everything I wanted, and no I wasn’t running around with new shoes every two or what months. My family didn’t have much to offer me, besides the little I had. Being the girl with torn shoes, or boy sweaters, everyone made fun of me. I didn’t understand the reason why at first. Till one morning of kindergarten my mom walked me to school, she would usually walk me to the corner but this time she went all the way in the class room. As I went to go sit down my teacher called my mom to the very corner of the room, there was a mother of one of my classmates; “Crystal Romero” was her name. Next to her was a bag full of clothing, used clothing. It seemed to be Crystals old cloths. As soon as I seen my mom grabs the bag and thanks the teacher, I look to the side and I seen Crystal with the other classmates and they were pointing at me laughing. I felt embarrassed and ashamed of myself, so I put down my head and started to cry. I know my mom’s intention wasn’t to embarrass me but to only help me out. At that moment I could say I was frustrated with my mother. From that day on Crystals job was to inform everyone of how poor I was just to make me the joke of the school. As much as I tried to ignore her and her crowd I couldn’t. She was like my shadow, a mean one I was always trying to run from but I couldn’t.
       
     I dont think bulling is right i really dont agree with it. I fell that bulling hurts other in a physical way and most of all an emotional way. bulling has caused many to take away there own lifes. People who witness bulling and dont do or say anything to stop it are mine as well Bully’s to.
