I probably need to get a life, but I decided to take a break from some paperwork, and search some MySpace/Facebook pages of young people that I know personally. Some of these kids are in HS, others are in college. Here is a sampling of some of the posts that I found. All of these kids are inner city kids, many with gang affiliations.
