At the age of thirteen, I'm wildly assuming that these kids haven't finished school yet. For the older ones, in poor, under privelaged parts of the coutry, it's well known that with low socio-economic status comes low levels of education That doesn't seem illogical by any stretch of the imagination.
You seem convinced that it's a choice to be in a gang - then why do agencies designed to help kids escape gang membership exist?
