Gangs, drugs, a subculture that does not value education and a need for kids to prove how "macho" they are at too young an age. It all adds up to this - way too often.

This is one reason I cannot fathom ever having kids - especially living here in Southern CA - most especially in the LBC. It'd give me way, way too much to worry about. I don't honestly know how parents say good-bye to their children going off to the dumps we call "schools" around here anymore, knowing full well they're going to come face-to-face with gangs, drugs, violence (and I don't just mean "fights after school here, I mean honest-to-goodness "people die" violence), etc. at way, way too young an age.

Medical school can train you for anything except how to deal with the human side of things I guess.
