David lived a life that a soap opera writer would appreciate. Brought up living in the projects by a loving mother and an abusive father. David's only sincere friend was a rat. At school he tried to make friends by being the class clown. Principals and teachers misunderstood his search for recognition and acceptance and rewarded his actions with frequent punishments and suspension. David was admitted into a street gang called The Conti-Boys. They were thugs who carried weapons and caused problems in the neighborhood. The gang family gave him the ability to prove to himself and to others that he was an important part of the group. However, David began to have misgivings when he was placed in an awkward position. Was it really worth it to be recognized as a Conti-Boy?
