Why people would try to brag about being from a ghetto I mean I know people sometimes try to be things they really aren't... but isn't it usually something better at least? If I was gonna lie and brag about where I'm from, I sure wouldn't be picking a hood maybe it's just me

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with growing up in the hood. I'm not ashamed of where I grew up. I come from some rough streets and I'm proud of how I turned out. My point was for those that didn't really grow up like that, brag that they did. If I was gonna lie, I'd say I grew up rich or something good

If I was gonna lie and brag about where I'm from, I sure wouldn't be picking a hood maybe it's just me I did not get the beginning or I missed something, how did you know he was lying, had you googled him. the fact that what You heard sounded like a Brag,, says how you listen, maybe it was clearing the air, so you'd know where he is coming from

Wow, did you hear about the kid that had no limbs, now that's a situation where I'd use "Grow up like that......etc.", not poverty or the economically deprived. Anyway, take a look at history and the people that have made somethings of themselves . As for lying ,why?

they think that if you think they are from the 'ghetto' than they are 'hard' problem is people that actually live there normally want to get out...and don't brag..you can just 'tell'

Most of the people that say they are from the ghetto would crap their pants if they ever found themselves in the middle of a city housing project at night.

It gets irritating listening to people brag but never went thru it. What really makes you "hard" is being able to put it in your past and become something good

I was just wondering why people would lie and make their life look even worse than it really is. Not sure what your problem is with me tonight but ...
