True Life...I Live In The Projects

I recently watched an episode of True Life entitled "I Live In The Projects". This episode conveyed the life of young people living in the projects. Personally, I can not really relate to these people. I did grow in a bad neighborhood in Pittsburgh, but there were far worse areas than where i was. However, the people living in the projects had to deal with daily shootings, fights, and gangs. Police are seen as the enemy and being arrested and in jail was no big deal to them. I could never live a life like this. A man named Dennis on the show was arrested while just walking down the street. It did not phase him what so ever. I would never be able to live life in the projects.
