Whether it was set up for us to fail or not, the issues in r neighborhoods r not just created traps 4 us anymore, its a lot of people that arent parenting how they should. Im not knocking anybody that came up in situations not similar to mind, im just saying even if u didnt have the support u needed in life growing up, its nothing wrong with giving ur kids the love & support u didnt have. Its everything wrong with teaching ur kids savage is life and b like me instead of being better than me or letting the streets raise them because they raised u in addition to steady having babies. My child may have a little more access to the things the average child wont over the years, but that shouldnt stop u from turning down and helping ur baby with his homework or not teaching her about Jordans before the alphabet. IJS take some responsibility 4 whats going on and try 2 start breaking cycles too.
