But this experience changed my life because Andre was hella cool. He showed me the ropes to how life was in Oakland. As far as dressing and cutting out some of my Texas vocabulary. Hell, I didn't even know what the word fart meant, when I moved to Kali at 10. Little did I know, my best friend, at the time had a dopefiend for a mom.Other classmates would talk about his mom and called his mom a dopefiend, yadadayadayadayada. I didn't know what the word dopefiend was until this crazy ess day. It was recess, and we were out playing on the playground. All of a sudden, all the kids just started gathering around the fence by the baseball field. I decided to go over there to see what all the fuss was about. They were pointing and laughing at this one lady in a tanktop and some beat up rock faded jeans. She was dancing around the sprinklers, strung out off of crack, . The principal came out first to tell the kids to stop making fun of her, but you know how kids are. The police had to come escort her off the baseball diamond, while kids were laughing. Meanwhile, my best friend Andre was crying in tears of embarrassment, but I can see, at the age of 10, that there was some deeper pain (To me, it felt like Andre was thinking, why she couldn't get off that stuff?). My training of thought at the time change from being a 4th grader to an adult comforting your best friend in a time of need. I was walking with my teacher Mrs.Lowe while he was crying. And right then and there, I knew the world wasn't fair. That experience opened a mental portal to me. That we don't all have the same families and lifestyles. So I ask you NT, whether you're from the suburbs, country, ghettos, or city, what made you lose your innocence as a kid?

My dude, you need to write screenplays...

...that was very vivid and hurtful to read - I don't know Andre from a can of paint, but I felt sorry for him.

Naw, I lost contact with him, but I saw the bums that made fun of him in high school. They were nothing then in 4th grade, and they ended up justcutting class in high school, and getting high. Andre will always be my first thought, on how life can be in Oakland. I remember he tried to school me onshoes, cause all I wore were Payless shoes. I had to step it up and had to go cop some L.A. Gears. The funny thing was the kids told Andre to shut the F upbecause he was wearing XJ900 from Payless too. But we were boys through thick and thin for that whole year, until my dad made a deal with a private school.And I ended up getting a good education for the exchange of manual labor.

Man, you cats on here have some very traumatic experience. It's no wonder I've always treated people younger than me with the same respect I give toolder people. It's not the age of people, but the experiences they have witnessed and been through that can make them wiser and stronger. Much props andrespect to all of you that have made it through your adversities and still pushin.

Well I used to watch channel 65 and 62 after like 7pm.

. I would have to say going to visit my dad at the "university" and asking the officers ifhe could come home with us. Kind of envious of you people saying 7th grade of high school.
