Combining the Pattern

The examples that they give in the story is clear about youth becoming thugs... When he said,"I recall the points at which some of my boyhood friends were finally seduced by the perceptions of themselves as tough guys". There are alot of young educated boys that turn into a dumb thug. As you walk down the street theres always young boys smoking and drinking everywhere you go. You barely see older boys cause the young boys have taken over the streets. I agree with everything he says about youth becoming thugs.
