Yeah it wasn't one big milestone event for me, just collection of situations over time.

Watching my best friend lying dead on his porch after being shot by his brother. He was only 14, his brother was 15. RIP Kevin

was it an accident? Even then, I bet you realized, that old saying that you need to make the best of what you have with your close ones. I lost my cousin atthat age, but I already lost my innocence by then.

When I was about 11 on a sunny Sunday morning I heard the TV on downstairs and my mom and dad's room door cracked. I thought my dad was downstairs fixingbreakfast. Instead with out me knocking I find him in the room with my mom, with her legs wide like a field goal. Hilarious now but that's when i knew thatwhat goes on between a man and a woman just ain't about kissing and puppy love.

I didn't really grow up in the hood, but I wasn't far from it. A lot just seemed normal to me, but didn't really make sense since I was so young,but the one thing I remember vividly is my first time watching new jack city when I was a kid. I realized then and there that those weren't just charactersbut people I see everyday.

I grew up way too fast. From having my older siblings taking care me when I was a baby, because my parents worked two jobs. To watching my bros sell rocksthroughout my childhood, to my dad passing when I was a freshmen in HS.
op- I went to Allendale, and the same thing happened to my class in the 3rd grade. Life isn't fair

To From Da Town, from by understanding it was an accident. I remember it like it was yesterday. Normally Kevin and his brother Freddie would come over my housefor the weekend. They lived in Harris Homes Projects(in Atlanta, use to be right across from Morehouse stadium). My father sold drugs in the projects. He startto take me over there when I was about 5 years old, you know, to toughin me up. For Kevin, coming to my house was like escaping his nightmare. For Freddie, atfirst it was cool, but as he got older he quickly drifted away to the thug life. Dude start carrying a gun around 10 years old. He was selling drugs, dudeswere shooting at his moms apartment, I mean he really got caught up. He eventually stopped coming over to my house. Kevin and I use to compete with each otherover shoes. Dude use to kill me with the Jr. Seau's, but I had him in everything else. In Feb of 97, the week the French Blue XII's and The Questionsreleased(you'll understand why I had to include this), I chose to go to my middle schools basketball game instead of Harris Home, which normallywould've led to Kevin spending the weekend at my house. The game was on a Saturday afternoon. That morning I went to get the French XII's which weresold out so I copped The Questions. I was so excited to go to Harris Homes Monday to show off. Sunday morning came. After eating breakfast I went to lay down.Within a couple of minutes, I heard my mother running towards my room. She screamed,"Get up, Freddie just shot Kevin." Our ride to the projects wasquiet. We pulled up and saw everyone standing outside. My mother start crying and kicking before we parked. I got out the car, walked up, and saw him laying ina pool of blood. I instantly broke down. My mom kept yelling at me,"you shouldve told someone Freddie had that gun!" I felt horrible, I kind ofblamed myself. My friend Rojaris was in the room with them when it happened. He explained that Freddie was playin with the revolver, pointing it at themtelling them to dance. The gun clicked a few times and then a shot fired. Kevin tried to run downstairs and fell through screen door and landed on the porch.His body laid there for almost 2 hours.
step your game up

I can still remember the day I heard my dad smashing some random broad while I fell asleep listening to Usher's first CD. Thought cats only did it in themovies until then. Been smashing ever since

Some really good and tragic stories in here. You guys afraid to read a little bit of text need to sharpen up
I grew up in the heart of white suburbia, but I definitely paused for a second when my friend had a baby at 15. That just made me wonder what I would do if Iwas a Dad, and it helped me focus. I'm a year from graduating college and the kid I'm talking about is a multiple felon, high school dropout andex/coke fiend... funny, I got in a fight with him this summer and he asked, "why are you trying to make me look so bad as a parent?" Dude all anyoneneeds to do is look at the morning paper to see what kind of dad you are
