My name is Valerie. I am a high school senior and will be graduating in the spring of 2007. The page I wrote is Media and Music towards Gangs, I choose to write this page because I find it really interesting how the media portrays young gangs. After reading my webpage you can see how movies music and TV are influenced by gangs. So I hope you enjoy reading my web page as well as the others. Thank you.
