To be honest, listening and watching this video, I can really relate to this. To be real, this is the reality of our youth especially. For me at 15, being so lost and I didn’t understand what love was. Being careless about life, meant also being careless about people in this world too was my mind state ever since 12.
I know close friends of mine end up having kids starting at 15 or 16. I’ve always wondered if I was going to be in that position at that age. I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t, should I say, “saved”. Being so stuck in this peer pressure of “if you ain’t gettin’ pussy, then you ain’t shit”. Growing up, I never realized that it isn’t true. At the same time facing the bangin’, that was all part of the peer pressure of being so called “hard”.
In this broken society we live in, most of the youth grow up to degrade and look at women like they are less than any man in this world. Realizing this when my eyes first opened at 15 years old, this is hella backwards. Then I started to ask why is our people taught like this? It goes back to when the “American” took and stole our culture, rights, dignity, self-esteem, and we all became ignorant to bow down for the $$$….
So, that means that I grew up as a lost one.
But, it takes a couple of people who are dedicated and committed on changing this society for a better world, to educate today’s and the next generation and build a bigger movement for REAL CHANGE for the people. Not for the rich who are just looking down on us and laughing. This is also part of why I am dedicated and part of this cause to fight for all people’s freedom, and end war amongst each other foreal.
This is part of the greater problems of society.
