Hey, Thanks for sharing your story. We know sometimes things are really hard for black and brown youth in this country — it doesn’t matter if you’re from South LA or Detroit or wherever — the same issues are found and we all try to succeed and overcome the difficulties. we wish you the best and good luck in your journey. There are great resources out there, and even though we don’t know a lot about Detroit, I’m sure there are youth organizations that work to help youth out, to be there to listen and to just hang out with good people. Let us know if you need help finding a place like that in your hometown. Thanks for reading our stories and our blog. -SCYEA
