Changing The Game

Chapter 2

"Yeah cause it took the fear of imprisonment away, You know Once You go to jail as a child Oh this it, it criminalizes you...Your more subject to go back and do the same things you were doing  you just think your doing it better, but it's all design for you to fail"  (*Turns off video*)

"Okay,Lets Get started....Raise your If you know why we watched that video?" Mrs.Marshall says.

Mrs. M is my first hour History teacher she's pretty cool, real down to earth women...she does things her way, don't really follow the school rules, that's why alot of kids pass her class, and if you don't pass her class then shit you just dumb as fuck because she gives out easy assignments and it's easy to pass them....I Raise my hand to answer her Question about the video.
(*Raises hand*)

"Okay, Yes Miss Coltin " Mrs. M says

" I think we watched the video because he's telling us that If we as a population of teenagers don't take life serious and not be out here getting pregnant, selling drugs or doing stuff that could eventually get us killed or sent to jail Then as a child once you are in jail it criminalizes you  in a way where it takes away your humanity and your going through something so traumatic as teen that once you get use to the jail lifestyle we're more subject to go back and do the same things we were doing  we just think we're doing it in a smarter way because we might have been taught something during that period of time that we didn't know before but it's all design for us to fail, So if us teens aren't doing  what we need to do to become better versions of ourselves in a positive way then we're just gonna fail in the end" I said as Ryan, the boy next to me hands me a folded piece of paper, I quickly took before Mrs. Marshall looked up from her book making eye contact with me.

"Wow very good answer Miss Coltin & Yes You are right, we see many of teenagers today failing downward trying to keep up with today's society or put out an image that lands them in a position where they wished they made better choices. That's why it was important to me that we watch that video today because I want us all to try to build each other up & inspire one another to  land in better, positive positions. Okay class tomorrow we will get started on reading Romeo and Juliet And don't forget to turn in your assignments before leaving my class." She says as the bell rings and everyone gets up turning in their papers.

As I walk outta class I started reading the note " aye I got a C In Brandon class can you-" before I could finish reading the note somebody called my name " YO STEPH! " I turn around to see Millionaire Jackson aka Milli the captain of the basketball and football team, I ain't gone lie he is finnnee as heellll buh he ain't nothing buh a hoe like the rest of every Nigga here.

He catches up to me. "Millionaire Jackson, To what do I owe the pleasure" I say in a sarcastic tone rolling my eyes. "Damn I can't come talk to you, I just wanted to ask if you got my note?" I just looked at him blankly like I had no idea what he was talking about. "I was wondering if you could help me out with my assignment for Brandon class?" he said looking at the ground all stupidly while twiddling his thumbs, Even with a dumb look on his face he stillll looked finee as heeelll. I just look him up and down debating on if I should help him out or not, I'll probably just be helping out his ego more than anything but I guesss I can help his ass out. "hmm so you gave me the note? Interesting. Why you just now deciding to talk to me plus I thought you already have a personal tutor or whatever, isn't Janae supposed to be like super smart and yo girl? Whatchu need me fa?" I say as I continue to walk to my locker before my next class. *smackes lips while looking up* " Mannn, Don't even act like that  plus Nae don't even got Brandon class so how she gone help me ? C'mon Steph I just need to raise my grade to a high B or they gone sit me out this season, I'm not asking you to do my homework or give me the answers I just want you to help me understand the assignment so I can pass this test tomorrow before our first game" he says in Sad but desperate tone. " Alright fine chile but no funny shit just helping you out then leaving, I will not be staying longer than intended & I'll drive myself to your house, you don't need my number so write ya address down and I'll get it from you last period" I say as I grab my English work out of my locker and walked away before he tries to speak.
