I remember the very beginning of when I started experiencing what I was in for, in Philadelphia.
I was five years old, I was living in Juniata Park, in Philadelphia...
We just moved to "Dungan Street" off of Luzurne street... across the way from Hopkinson Elementary and Middle School.
I went across the street and attempted to join some teenagers in Basketball... I'm five years old at the time, I'm not a pro basketball player...ok...
But they're too f)ucking stupid and thickheaded to understand that... they also apparently lack human decency.
The events that would unfold from that day on... would have me sent to the Psych ward 5 years later... several times.
I was verbally abused beyond your wildest imagination, every day that I stepped out of my house around there.
These teenagers in Philadelphia were Smoking cigarettes, Chewing Tobacco, doing drugs, drinking alcohol, not going to school, driving crappy old vehicles that obviously has not been inspected properly.. they used ATVs, Go Karts, Mopeds, Dirt Bikes, you name it... none of which are street legal in the state of Pennsylvania.
I went to every bad school in Philadelphia... and one school that leads to nowhere in life.
Ludlow, Strawberry Mansion, Abraham Lincoln High School, Greenfield Elementary, Wordsworth Academy.... they are the most dangerous schools in all of Philadelphia... and they account for quite a percentage of Philadelphia Students, except for Wordsworth.. and its dangerous too, for somewhat different reasons.
The Abuse I took in Wordsworth Academy, is as bad or worse, as any school in Philadelphia that I have been to.
These "big cities" don't even have a moral compass.
As a young child... I was assaulted four times, by grown adults with (so called) "normal" mental health.
So what makes you think that place is any kind of a place to be ?
