Book excerpt: GANGS: 50+ Stories of Fractured Lives: Joining a gang is an easy way to destroy a life. But when teens refuse to listen to the authority figures who do their best to prevent this life altering decision, do we just give up? ARISE says No! The best way to get a messages across to teens is for them to hear it from each other. Gangs: 50+ Stories of Fractured Lives contains firsthand stories of how dangerous life in a gang really is. Each story was handpicked to illustrate a critical point. Topics range from the disastrous effects gang life has on someone's family members to how easy it is to lose your life to gang violence. The stories illustrate, using plaintive, stark language, how easy it is to get caught up in the endless cycle of revenge that gang members live in every day.
