What have I learned so far about my topic?
         
-Black gangs are involved in drug trafficking, Hispanic gangsare mostly involved in turf-related violenceand  Asian and white are introduced to more in property crimes.
-The brain stem is in charge of all of the functions our body breathing, circulating blood, and digesting food are all connected to our brain cells and might change the way we think once we become addicted to the substances of drugs. It also links the brain with the spinal cord that runs down the back and is responsible for moving muscles and limbs as well as letting the brain know what’s happening to the body. When drugs enter the brain, it can damage the brain cells and change the way of function.Drugs are chemicals. They work in the brain by tapping the nervous system and communicating with it and it may affect the way to receive, open, and anything that deals with it.
-Peer pressure is the feeling that they are being forced by friends or any one to do something they don't want to do.This may lead to more attitude to the childs personality. At times it changes how they are at home, school or anywhere. They start failing ussually they won't care about anything and blame everything on people surrounding them, including parents.
