How did my neigborhood influence how i grew up? It influence how I grew up by teaching me that you have to be tough out here because if you don't it will pick you apart. Another thing was don't do the things everyone else are doing because I am not a follower so when I was growing up I seen everyone selling drugs and smoking weed so that made me not even want to do it because everyone else was. If you use your neigborhood in a good way than you will come out okay but if you fall in all of the neighborhood traps than you will be messed up like everyone else who feel in those trap.
