Did you have a group like that?
I will start.
Had a group like that, grew up with them in the 90s, non stop on the streets. When I finished junior high, my parents moved me. I was living at my grandma's house until then. Of course I was devastated by that, angry on them, but as years passed, understood they did the right decision. Most of them got into troubles that lead to adulthood, prison or bad choices.
As years went on, I am going from time to time to my grandmas's home and really have a bittersweet feeling when I am in places where I had so many memories.
