A lot of kids and teenagers join gangs because they don't have a good family life. They don't have enough of security at home or something like that. Some kids feel pressurized to join a gang because they get threatened. There have been instances that other kids say if that person doesn't join this gang he'll kill their entire family. Believe it or not, gang members rape, kill, steal etc. It's not pretty. ):

that may be true but no one is threated to join a gang one can be hoped in a gang with out wanting to that's part of the gang

Why do ghetto people make so many gangs?

It is because of many reasons. People who grow up in ghettos more than likely have a hard time in life with family, finances, schooling, gangs, and more. Because of these problems, some look to gangs as a family unit to make up for the absence of family at home. They look to gangs as a means to make money with criminal activity, and a way to be taken care of. They look to it as a way to learn the streets they have to live with everyday and since they may be falling behind in school, or they believe there is no way out of 'hood life no matter how well they do academically. They look to gangs because gangs may intimidate them into joining or else they'll hurt them and/or their love ones, or another gang is already harassing them, so they feel they have protection with joining up with another. And then there are those who just would rather cause chaos and do nothing more in life than that. It should be noted that people from the ghetto aren't the only ones who create gangs. There are many suburban gangs as well.


What types of people join gangs?
