The story behind my topic:D

Gang violence here in the U.S is getting out of hand. The first time I heard about gang violence was when I started middle school. I would here people say "oh my family got shot last night because of throwing up signs!" I was in shocked! Right now in the U.S there are over 30,000s gangs with 800,000 members in them. Today people pick to do gangs because they want to feel powerful. Another reason is they feel as if their friend is in there they should be because if not they wont be their friend anymore.Gang violence is harsh! you loose people that is close to you. I choose this topic because it made me think alot more about the way of life.
