This is a serious question, so please don’t make any jokes.
So, I’ve been dating this guy for like a month now. I live in the suburbs of Chicago, so gangs are pretty prominent around here. Just recently, my boyfriend joined to gang SGD, or Spanish Gangster Disciples, which is part of Folk Nation. I don’t want to be fully involved with this stuff, but I kind of am just because I’m dating him. A lot of his friends in the gang are saying things to me like “We’ve got your back, you’re one of us now” and I feel like I’m part of the gang. Also, I know a lot of people that are in the Latin Kings at other schools, and those are their biggest enemies… I’m scared I’m going to get jumped by them or something since they know that I basically claim SGD. Now I mean I don’t mind being affiliated like this, but I just want to know , what really happens to gang members girlfriends? Like are they considered part of the gang or anything? Any information would be appreciated!
We’re both 14 years old, and we live in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, about a half an hour away from the inner city. He’s Mexican, and I’m half Spanish half White.
Thank you so much!
