I have been living here for a while....and I was planning on moving out. But it fell through......anyways, im still here and I never thought I would say this but it has gotten way worse...... Now there are a lot of bangers roaming around the property, its kinda scary.... i cant have my blinds open, I am on the bottom floor because they will stick their faces in my window,,,,,jez. I really need to move, im scared even in my own pad..

I see you live in L.A. I can't really imagine what it's like, but I too grew up in a gang neighborhood. I went to Grant High School here in Sacramento. For those not familiar with the area, it's the biggest, baddest school in a poor community with massive gang and drug problems. It was the closest thing to an L.A. ghetto (besides maybe G Parkway) that Sacramento could produce.

I believe your situation is 400x worse, but I remember the gang pressures and the homophobia. It was a huge, huge, HUGE reason I didn't transition as a teen.

The only thing I could do was remain static, invisible. It would be in your best interest to get out of there by any means, soon.
