Depression, low self-esteem and hatred were just a few of the feelings that consumed Ulysses as a teenager growing up. At home, his mom's rejection and constant arguing made him start hating himself for never being good enough and hating his mom, for always making him feel he was a burden. At school, he was never able to do good, whenever he tried, something would always bring him down and keep him from having good grades, which added to his low self-esteem and feeling of uselessness. As time passed, these negative feelings grew more leading Ulysses to question if there was a reason to live.

This is a strong testimony. Its the case of many teenagers and I think that with out realizing it the teenagers that are in criminal paths and claim to be part of a gang do it to find a sense of belonging. They don't care in which social group the fall into as long as they fit somewhere.
