I grew up dirt poor no family, parents didn’t want me. Your 100% right that people prey on the weak, from first hand experience. I was lucky enough to go so low that I had nothing to lose and no opportunities. This allowed me to basically risk my whole life in order to get somewhere, I got alot stronger doing difficult things and putting myself through a lot of shit taking risk. I’m still in the shit but I can back myself and protect other people now. I’m now a cold ruthless bastard. That doesn’t stand people that victimise less fortune or capable. Don’t be ashamed to ask for help it’s usually those with the least that give the most, you’ll find good people. Don’t hang around with drug users, gang members, you’ll be a lot safer and away from danger.
