Always have a smile on your face and dress for success at whatever you want to be. Stay out of bars, clubs and GET AWAY from your old friends. They're not your friends. Theyre dumbass ghetto fuckin losers and if they dont accept your choice to stop being a nigger then fuck them. Its hard to do but its worth it. I was a meth addict fuckin hillbilly wigger punk until I was about 17. I quit hanging out with those people and now 4 years later I run into them at the store or whatever and they look like absolute shit. Fuckin all skinny and covered in sores and scabs and shit. Dont be a badass thug and leave that image behind. If you have tattoos on your neck or hands or whatever it will be hard to get work and be a part of society but if you feel like people judge you for your tattoos explain to them that everyone was a shithead at one point in time and you grew up. admitting that you fucked up and are trying to redeem yourself THAT will get you more respect than anything else in this world. Start a productive hobby, I like maintaining my property and fuckng around with tinkertoys. No joke, thebkids tinkertoys. But it keeps me out of trouble and it makes me feel good about myself and thats another one of thebonly thibgs that matter

Hang around people you want to be like. Get a role model or two to look up to. The above poster has good advice as well.

Hey anon. Here's a few exercises you can do to work this out for yourself;

What are the 5 most important things to you?

How can you keep those important things safe or obtain them, or maintain them?

What does a descent lifestyle that's non-ghetto look like to you?

Remove yourself from people in your life who threaten your 5 most important things, and move towards those who can help you get, protect or maintain them.

Keep reminding yourself each day what is important to you and how you can achieve it.

Enjoy
