In a hell of a fix
Hi, all
I have started to post here because I'm in a bit of a fix and don't know where to turn.
I have lived in England my whole life, and although have lived in rougha reas, not had any direct experience or trouble with gangs. I am posting here because my parents are uprooting us all to Tacoma, Washington, due to my Dad's new job. While everyone else is excited, I do not want to go . I am not dissing anyone but when I told a friend about the move, they told me Tacoma has a lotta problems with gangs, so in reality I'm worried and upset about it. I'm black (Jamacian) and due to not being from the US, have absolutely no clue about the gangs there. We are due to move in another six weeks and I am even thinking of running away (not just because of gang culture, it's a lot of things) but the gangs are a concern of mine.
So basically, if anyone can offer me any information or advice, I'd be so grateful. Also, I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. I have trawled through the gangs of Washington thread but I have no idea whether the gang will start shit with me or what streets to avoid because they're gang territory. I am clueless about gangs

Hey, thanks, my dad said somewhere in the east area of Tacoma, forgot the street name though. Does anybody know any logos or distinctive tattoos or anything Bloods wear? My friend said there's tons of Bloods over there. I have tattoos and I'm worried that I'll be approached to be in a gang and get hurt if I refuse to join the gang. I'll take your word for itthough, thanks for the helpKelemi253 wrote:listen... theres no worry, Tacoma is not bad, its when you are in a gang, or go out lookin for trouble. What part of Tacoma? HillTop?

Hi, sorry I've not replied for a while, we've been busy beefing. My dad told me the postal code is 98409 no idea where that was. He wouldn't tell me the street name, probably because he's cross with me for being angry about the move. He's annoying that way, I'll Google it later.
Christ there is a few all right, thanks for the link. I am mainly also worried about my temper as I occasionally indulge in a fight. I get annoyed real easy and I know bopping sombody on the nose is a stupid idea I might not be able to help it. I've dealt with rougher areas by just walking stridently and keeping my shoulders straight, eyes straight ahead and jaw parallel to the floor. If one of them talks to me, should I snub them?
That's a relief about the race thing. I'll stay posting on here and let you know how it goes if I do go with them, but I might run away. My friend's parents are willing to let me live with them. I am not sure yet, but I will certainly let you know what's happening
Thanks again guys.

Do you mean they'll steal it or hurt me? I think the best way's to just nod my head and if they ask, I'll lie and say I'm in a rush and can't stop - thanks for the adviceKelemi253 wrote:yeah, if they ask to see something, dont let them see it.
Like I say I don't know whether I'll stay at my friend's or go with them.....I'll let ya know
Kind of, I don't think I'll be seeing Tacoma now. I want to stay here, nd if I can I will. I just can't go - i know you guys tried to help and I'm thankful and its not just gangs, it's everything. It's mainly gangs but just the dea of seeing a gang member makes me feel ill. I think, therefore it is in my best interest, that I should stay in the UK
Mightchge my mind but i doubt it - I just want to stay where it's safe
