i'm 15 years old attending thurgood marshall as a junior. have i been living in bay view all of my life, witnessing and experiencing many thing that's have taken place in my community. what i like about my community is we're able to relate to one another with similar views and do our best to stick together as a community. bay view is facing bad publicity because of the thing that's go on within it. i can personally say bay view needs a huge change. this community lacks support in different areas. teens walk around streets with low self-esteem and no hope so they decide to run to the streets with their friends. they barely have anyone to go to for help, guidance or encouragement. violence is also one of the main problems in bay view since jobs and programs aren't really available. they have nothing to do besides run to the streets and the things that i believe can be change dd and improve with the help from the community and government officials. also, i feel like we don't have no one to really believe in us. like there's no type of encourage
