In Our America, LeAlan and Lloyd was called to grow up quick by the streets and the neighborhood they lived in. A quote that comes from chapter two says. "Cause if you play childish games in the ghetto, you're gonna find a childish bullet in your childrish brain". Meaning that they had to grow up even if they didnt want to. They were forced to grow up by society. They knew about sex, different kinds of drugs, and crackheads. Me personally I really havent had to be forced to grow up. Either it was you grew up or something happened that made you grow up.
Have you ever been forced to grow up? If so, why and how? As a child i was exposed to the "ghetto" or things that LeAlan and Lloyd had experienced but not at the age they experienced it.
