Because kids can get kill.
Because they can not learn.
Because can get arrested.
And they can go to jail.

Gangs are not good and the only people who support it are probably the ons in the gang.
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
Young adults choose to join gangs because when you are poor or in poverty people, get together and help each other. It is kinda like The Outsiders when Ponyboy and Johnny are in a gang called the "Greasers". There are more gang members, but I ain't telling. They are often jumped by the Socs and the Socs were rich kids and picked the poor which are the Greasers. Young adults join gangs because of protection and finding someone who might be closest to you.
Maybe not what you want to hear but you shouldn't join. There are often crimes involved, you could end up in jail and a gang is a life long thing. You cant get out. Even if you decide after a while if you decide you want to break free and get a partner and have kids they wont let you go. You could even be killed depending on the gang. Please don't join
there is no real way to tell them, but if there is, i doubt they would listen
Why would you want children to join gangs?! Most gangs are dealing with drugs,violence and robbery. Those aren't acceptable.
They pressure kids into joining gangs. Also they say people will like them better if they joined the gang or other interesting activities and things that will affect the kid once they join the gang. But all together its peer pressure from the people already in the gang. They also promise a better life...kids that join gangs seems to have a less than glamorous existence and other members then promise them a better one.
There are many programs in place that prevent children from joining gangs in San Francisco. There is an estimated 250-500 new young gang members a year.
Many kids join gangs because they do not receive adequate family attention, the gang provides love, identity and status; in turn they develop loyalty to the gang.
There are many things you should tell a school gang leader. You should advise these people to be nicer to other kids in school.
Because gangs are a form of organized crime. Older gang members encourage young kids to commit crimes and do things that they would not ordinarily do for the sake of the gang. They exploit children and ruin lives. Once a boy or a girl joins a gang, he or she is likely to go to prison and die young. That's why it matters.
GD's: any age you can be blessed in but you ain't considered a Gangsta until you turn 16
