I am an underpriviledged teenager and at the age of 17 live like I am from the 1950's or 60's. I live in the slumy part of town but, have a happy life. Considering I am a girl is it weird I never want to leave this place?
A day in my life:
I wake up to a bell alarmclock (old fashioned)
I walk to school 2 and 1/2 miles away
I am in the smart class and make A's
I am made fun of because I don't want or have a cell phone, ipod, or popular clothes
After school a group of 8 of my close friends (a gang type) meet in the parking lot
There is only 2 girls in the group (includiing me) and the rest are boys
We walk home and I do my homework
after we meet at a local gas station, go to the park, or watch a movie
We usually steal from stores for cigarettes and beer
we are nice decent people just poor
our parents don't really care about what we do
we then go home at 11-2 and go to sleep
the odd thing is I want to graduate then live in this neighborhood the rest of my life
Odd?

Also I have a boyfriend and he is part of the group. He is really tough and mean and beats people up. I like the bad boy type I guess and he is always so nice to me. He has never raised his voice to me, He is kind of like a greaser character I guess my whole group is except me.
I think. Anyway I am arfraid he is going to get hurt does anybody know what i could say to him?
He is a dropout and doesn't have a home he crashes at whoevers house he can. I might love him but, I can't tell. I don't know if he can love.
More about my life:
I am a dreamer. I usually crash at my buddie Johnni's place if my parents aren't home.
I was asked by a girl at school one day (preppy) why i went out with Danny (my boyfriend) and why i was always happy with my life?
I couldn't answer beause I had no real reason.
Please help me and maybe give me some reasons why I an so extremly happy with a life like mine.

Thanks everyone and let me explain the stealing
where I live its kind of normal to steal people do a lot worse. There isn't any drugs where I am from because everyone is way to poor.
somethings people do worse than stealing is fight, race in unsafe old cars, carry guns, and beat innocent people up. My group is one of the more innocent groups
many of you also said i may die but, its not as bad as you think our group play football in the park and dont lay around
one or two beers a night isn't bad and a couple of cigarettes arn't gonna hurt me are they?
Help i am so confused with my life?? But yet I am happy...so happy...
lastly only 3 people in my group go to school and i am one of them. I am the oldest of the people still in school.
There is a girl 16 and a boy 15 who still go to school.
Also at my school people never like you even if you have a good personality and you are a good person unless you have money
its shallow i guess

I don't think its so strange. As long as you're happy, whats the problem?
Alot of people don't move from their home town.
But you know, eventually you'll have to grow up.

Well being poor doesn't give u the right to steal from stores,you are wrong.
You shouldn't drink beer,cigarettes,they harm your health before your pocket.
Take care of your education which will build your personality,when you finish your school,you can get a good job and make your future,savings better.
