I Will Promise To Be One Less Teenager in the World Dead for Stupidity!

The overall presentation was excellent. It showed us the "real world" of what kind of society we could be apart of, I personally think what your group does is very, very important because you are giving children a chance to live by stopping them from doing the craziest things life has to offer. I felt very moved by it and I would enjoy hearing it again, because of what you said it wasn't "sugar-coated" and you didn't "beat around the bush". 

You told it how it was and that's why I love it! Gangs aren't anything but for people who feel like outcast. Sometimes I feel like an outcast because nobody talks to me or loves me, but I know somebody loves me. 

You''ll gave me a sense of love and I want to thank you for that. I learned that gangs aren't nothing but for babies that can't stand up like a real man and fight, they have to hide behind the false protection of their "homies".

I also learned never to fall into a path of destruction of violence, drugs, sex, money, and most importantly DEATH. Nobody wants to die like that. Well, I don't but some people have the nerve to die like that. If I were to die I would want to die for my friends, family, and my country. I want to be a soldier, veteran, or in the military and like you said, "I'm not gonna let somebody come and steal my dream. NOBODY is gonna come looking for me, I will STAND FOR ME, I will NOT JOIN A GANG and nobody can persuade me too.

Everything I learned from you'll today can will go to use for me. I will PROMISE TO BE ONE LESS TEENAGER IN THE WORLD DEAD FROM STUPIDITY, because I'm only 15 years old, I got a whole life ahead of me and nobody is going to take it!

THANK YOU AGAIN.  Sincerely,  S.S. - 8th grade Aiken Middle School - Aiken SC
