Have to disagree. I was brought up in faith, then decided on my own to forget about it because it wouldn't let me do the things I wanted, then my life took a turn for the worst about 1.5 yrs ago (suicide, dperession, the works, etc.) and I gave my life to God, and instantaneously a lot of my problems went away. That doesn't mean I live a perfect life and have no problems, in fact, my life got a lot harder afterwards. I could never expect someone to commit their lives to it without being in the dumps though... I'd be very skeptical too unless you witness a miracle first hand. Once somethings happens to you that you cannot explain and nothing on earth could have cause it, you kind of get sucked in and all doubt removed from your mind. It's pretty cool.
I still drink, party, smoke, well, no sex, but it's all in moderation.

I never had a religions epiphany, but I've definitely had physiological breakthrough. After getting locked up, I was terrified. I felt like I saw being locked up in my future. I was only locked up for for only 6 days, but when your 15 it's a big deal. I spent 6 days thinking about all the **** I've done and realized why I and everyone does everything they do. If it weren't for that, I'd still be the stupid **** up I was. I'm thankful for my bad luck, I got locked up for some bull**** too. I got arrested 4 times as a juvenile, mostly because of my bad luck. But the time I got arrested was real bull****, I later got the charges dropped reduced to a misdemeanor, because I did not truly commit three counts aggravated assault. Three smaller kids tried to jump me at this party. I dropped all three of them with just 4 or 5 blows, then just dropped to the ground form exhaustion. Then about 15 of my stupid *** "friends" jumped in and just started beating the **** out of them. Problem was a bunch of people saw me my shirt full of this kids blood, but I had just broken one if their noses. The cops were saying that I broke a nose, jaw, orbital, and 2 ribs which was bull****. I was never able to prove that they tried to jump me, but I was able to prove I didn't cause all that damage. That's how the justice system works throw as much sh*t agian the wall and see what sticks. W/e I'm glad it happened to me, I feel like it saved my life. I'm a completely different person now, one of the main reasons my parents are so cool and understanding with what I do, I've proved a lot of **** to them them past 4 or 5 years.
You're story reminds me of a P.O.D. song "On the Grind" it's pretty good.

I always hung around the "cool" kids ever since elementary school. Once middle school came alone it slowly all became about fighting and drugs. I had always been the anti drug kid, I never touched coke or any real drug unlike most of the people I know that were boonkies by the time they were 14. It got to the point where we would go to parties looking for fights, and call random people out. Highschool was even worse with real crimes going down, but by the time I was 17 I dropped out and was already not really hanging out with these people anymore. Now I'm only friends with one dude I knew from back in the day but he was always like me, didn't really believe in what we were doing, just doing it to be the cool kids. Couple of these kids were serious sociopaths, one of the is locked up for 20 years for attempted murder and aggravated assault. Stupid **** stabbed this poor kid for absolutely no reason, they just started to carry knifes and finaly one day he used it. Stupid ******* is sitting locked up right now. I'll never forget how stupid Chris Razor is, you may have even heard about him Chris he was all over the news about 4 years ago when he stabbed this one kid, and cut this other one. It was a big deal becuase it happened in a rich area.

****ty. One good friend of mine used to be in a gang, but he has some depression issues, and one symptom of depression is hallucinating, so I'm not sure if I really believe him or not. Side note: 2 summers ago I had to weld a tear in his oil pan because he was backing out of an alley and tore it on a curb trying to get away from people shooting at him....
Another friend of mine is a convicted felon charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. lol... two people I wouldn't mind bringing to a fight.
