I fux with everything u said...
And this convo comes up alot on here, but 15yrs old is not really a child....
Legally yes... but i know some teenagers who are more mature than some adults, or doing alot more things, and are more advanced than someone their age...
The environment u grow up in kinda dictates ur perception. Like when i saw the vid of the young man junior getting stabbed. Everybody around me was like damn, why they doing that child like that...
I was like shyttt,, u dont know what that nikka was doing out in these streets.
Right or wrong, we cant just paint every youngster with the same brush.
So yes, we must always watch over our sons, daughters, nieces, nephews and young neighbors.... but some of these muthafukaz is already grown. smh... and they sometomes are actually the predators
Speaking directly about “the environment you grew up in dictates perception”
But that’s the problem. We need to create environments where our 15 year olds are still children because physically, mentally, emotionally, and legally...they are still children.
I know exactly what you’re talking about: the girl who is too grown, the breh who is damn near or fully taking care of himself and his family...what I’m saying is that we need to do better so our 15 year old young ladies aren’t enticed by the bullshyt that a Charlamagne at that age can offer them. We need to better for them so that they don’t “grow up too quickly”. It’s not on the parents 100% in every situation. But if a man in his 20s is hanging around my 15 year old daughter... and I’m allowing it, and she’s into his deadbeat ass... I’ve not done my job as a parent (before he made her a victim)
