Personally i beleieve behaviour is a Choice. Growing up on the screet can be really tough, we get to meet diffrient kind of people and mentality from diffrient seniors. My famaily really played a role in my life transformation if not i would have been lost and not just my family but friends and uncles.
Life on the street is a diffrient type of life struggle, here people can get to do anything to survive at all cost or even feed the day. I was not born into a very poor family my mom was working and also my dad, my dad do travel for business while my mom works 9-5 jobs so they have little time for us, and back then there we could go anywhere meet anyone on the street, honestly i wouldnt lie, i enjoy street vibes becaue its so real and raw but most of them are lost and need to be recovered mentally and physically too.
When i say lost i meant they need to understand life diffrient from where they are now, they need to escape that mentality of their life being limite to only one place, i remeber one once telling him self not me that he will die here same also his children. If i had not explored life from difrrient perspective i meant going to school changing of locations, getting to meet with rich homies friends and making a good friend from them, learning their lifestyles i would have been lost to the hood, University really helped me in transformation. This is why i don't just see university as a journey but also a job.
I will forever be greatful to so many people, life down there is really diffrient and nobody can be trusted which life is not meant to be like that honestly, life should be soft and easy going. I encountred so many friends on thje street but i am also thanful to some set of them that took the time to work on themself and their future, 2 of my friends are doctors while 1 is a lawyer and opther too are now comfortable no street hood things.
One of the main thing that helped me ewas my behaviour, i was very reserved and people often wanted to know who i was nd communicate with me
One major message i wanted to explain in this context was that behaviour is learnt not inherited, i dont believe it can be inherited, it is either learnt from the parent or from the street, this is why we need to be observant of our children and everyone around us.
Life can be better when we are observant of thinsg we see, what we hear and what we speak, then we will be able to dfine our behaviour. I try to put i effort to become better person and well behaved man, if i had not changd envirionment i would have been lost in my hevaioural act.
