The dust settles. Four British troops enter‚ weapons drawn.

America has never been nor will it ever truly be equal. Since the beginning of recorded history America has not been equal. From Black African slaves being owned and traded and treated as if they were not humans but property.

But too much freedom can easily backfire‚ leaving a teen floundering. Some of them start taking advantage of too much freedom.

Growing Up In the Hood Is it a coincidence that highly urbanized areas are full of crime and always statistically higher than small towns and rural areas? A child that is being brought up in a metropolitan area that is full of violent crimes is flooded in a sense and has nothing to do but to breath in some of the negative influences that go on around him.
