I grew up with people at school bashing me for living on the council side of the estate because I went to a private school for a while. It's just water off a ducks back to me. Negative people don't deserve my attention or thinking time. Let them continue with their ill logic :yesyes:
I've lived in areas wheres there's gang activity, drugs, stabbings. That happens in most places including the rural areas! I'm not even joking. Gangs use rural areas because they're off the radar. Kids who are drug runners come from the city to pick up drugs from the rural areas to take back to the city. Kids are not going to be stopped for carrying drugs. They then bring drugs into the rural areas, and the youth. Do not even ask how I know this.
It happens everywhere. Literally everywhere. So these people talking their mouth off about other areas fail to realize the same stuff happens in their own area - it's just not in the media thus not reported. They choose to believe it doesn't happen in their area.
