I agree with Ja’Naya because there’s no change in this society of Newark and I’m order to make change you force to make change by working together as a whole.

I agree with Ja'Nya because no matter where you come from we are the creators of our own destiny. It's on you whether you want to make good or bad choices.

I agree with Janya onto the extent that your environment is not the only factor that plays a role into who you become and the product that is made. At the end of the day regardless of the city and the culture behind it it is solely up to you to decide what you want to do and accomplish

# data[].attributes.body
I agree entirely. You should have the freedom to design your own lives. Yes, I agree you are a victim of your surroundings, but you still make choices by yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
I strongly agree with Ja'Nya, at the end of the day Newark is my home it's literally where my life started. Granted it's not perfect, with the constant "living above our means", gang violence, and gentrification, but all cities go through that. It's about the memories and the experiences you take with you. Also the people you meet.

# data[].attributes.body
I strongly agree. People should b        e able to create their own lives. Yes I do believe you are a product of your environment but you also make your own decisions. They usually say "you are who you hang with" to an extent because I feel that you choose your own path

# data[].attributes.body
I definately
agree, point well said. a person that is going to take newark to the next level may have to leave newark to bring newark up.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ja'Nya because you do not have to live forever in the place that you are born in. There are people that just feel like they need a change of scenery and there is nothing wrong with that. It doesn't make the place that they left for that change in scenery better or worse.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree to an extent with Ja'Nya on her point about how we shouldn't feed in into the idea of how your environment can impact who u are a person thinking about how in our generation we are less willing to allow this idealogy to affect us but from an economical and social standpoint there are barriers implace the prevent this statement from being true.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with janya that we should make our own path in life instead of allowing people to tear us down like we are crabs in a barrel grabbing at each others leg when someone tries to escape. and even though we are departing newark we can always think about the good in newark that has molded us to be the person we are today.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ja´Nya because not everyone is the same. Where you are from doesn't make who you are. Where you grow up does affect the way you think and helps develop who you are and you can use that development to shape who you are as a person.

# data[].attributes.body
I 100% agree because it does not matter where you come from, there will always be a time when you have to struggle to grow. The
greatest strength comes from the ones who endured the most pain during their struggle.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ja'Nya because in order to judge something, no matter what it is, you have to have a full scope on it. It's not fair to judge a place without living there and having experiences there just like how it's not fair to judge someone when you don't know them. This applies to Newark due to how in order to judge this city you have to actually know what Newark is about from personal experiences -- and if someone is to judge Newark you have to give credit where credit is due because not everything is bad.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if I wasn’t raised in this city if I didn’t experience the things from this city then I wouldn’t have that drive that rush to push my self to have a future run wouldn’t be motivated to leave or to start a better life because their would have been no challenges no obstacles for me to experience for me to want to strengthen my self and I hate how Newark has its bad sides but those bad sides the violence the hate it taught me survival it  gave me motivation to succced because that’s like you being trap someone horrible if you can survive a “negative or challenging environment then you can survive anywhere to be honest Newark gave me that hard shell it’s almost as Newark was prepping me for the future so when I leave and I go through difficult situations it wouldn’t be new to me because everyone , everywhere every city has it’s bad parts it’s not like Newark is the only bad place in the world Newark was just the first experience it was your home base if that makes sense

# data[].attributes.headline
I agree 100% , because like i've said before people are so quick to point out the bad when they hear the name Newark , but they haven't really experienced everything especially if you aren't from Newark you cant just put your opinion out there if you haven't experienced the good & the bad.

I agree because In newark we dont challenge our obstacles , people come from different places but had to go through obstacles to make it out not because of where they are from. The grass isnt greener on the other side.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because  us as a community in Newark there no progression being made because we don't support each other , differently to artist in ATL they all support each other that's why we see most big time artist come from ATL so I would move to a place I feel supported , love and making me want to be successful. Name 5 people from 2010 to now that have made it out of Newark its hard.. But I could name off the back from places like LA ,ATL even Chicago a bad city like us they still support each other in some way even though its a lot of black on black crimes.

Ambar A-I agree with Ja'Nya because i believe no matter where you grow up if you stand up to those circumstances you can be successful the city doesn't really depend on it you can be from a great city and not be successful because of your choice and actions

 David A- i agree with Ja´nya because i think that no matter where your born you should be able to do and become anything. You growing up in a bad neighborhood should just push you to to want to do better for your future. And you have to go after the thing that you want since nothing really gets handed to you in life you have to work for it.

I agree with  Ja"Nya because like she said  you can't let where you come from define who you really are. A community should be build off as a whole  with different races  rather than everyone turning against each other and leaving  their own community to be destroyed.

I agree with Ja´Nya and with my peers says because where you from doesn´t define as a person it only shapes you to be a stronger person for the real world

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ja'Nya that to grow up and to have more understand and experience of culture is to see the world, move on from were you grew up to see that the word is way bigger then what you or a small city really does.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ja’nya fully because at the end of the day you make your own choices. Your community or city didn’t make those choices for you. I agree that Newark has some bad parts but you have to take it upon yourself to do better. It’s easier to blame your city or community because no one likes to take responsibility. There’s multiple people who have made it big and came from places like Newark. Also a lot of black people try to blame it on systemic racism, but you can’t rely on that because we already know how they treat us so you have to work 10x harder to get out.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ja'Nya. The city you come from does not make you who you are but it does teach you lessons and add on to the knowledge that you already have. The only thing individuals have to do is figure out ways on how to use that knowledge to get where they want to be in life.

# data[].attributes.body
i definetly agree

From abdul saleem to Everyone:  11:42 AM
yea I do think they blame their city but when you think about it, everybody has a conscious and a sense of right and wrong so you cant fully blame a city for a decision you made. that's still your decisions your making

# data[].attributes.headline
I agree with Ja'Nya because where you live doesn't define you as a whole your city maybe apart of your story but it doesn't always have to shape you as a person and at the end of the day you make your own choices and should try to better yourself on your own it should have to be based off the city you live in - Nazaiya

I agree with Ja’Nya, we decide our own fate at the end of the day, yes we are products of our environment because we learned from our environment but people tend to forget you decide how you want to live not Newark.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because this place isn't perfect but no where is perfect and living in newark you can learn from the mistakes these people make

# data[].attributes.body
i agree wit her because you could your city to how you want your city. you can be the oerson to change your town. you could be the first step

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ja'Nya because you have to grow which means stepping out your own comfort zone. If you can stay in the same spot and expect to change your situation. She even brought up a good point about how there are flaws even in the most rich, safe neighborhoods and that is one point that even I neglected. Everything that is gold is not always good.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ja'Nya. Where you come from doesn't define you it's just a part of you. You can't really judge a place if you haven't really been there

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ja'Nya

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with her because people who come from our city don't have to stay in the city, they can leave and grow from experiencing with different environments. And we don't really have to fall into the characteristics of our city just because we are from there, we decide and we make the choices of what we want to do. Just because we come from a violent environment doesn't mean we're violent.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with her because no city is perfect and living in Newark can be a way to learn and change things because of the experiences that we go through and teaching us bravery.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, when she said it is ok to move and grow and expand your horizon. leaving your city or state does not make you a bad person and it also does not mean that we do not like where we are from. for most people it means growth.
