darkRose91 Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 My name is mary and a friend told me about this site. i dont know how to start...... My brother was a fan of eminem and he started listening to him 2 years ago. He was a big fan and he liked his message. he started to get into fights. he used to get picked on. and people gave him a little more respect but it probably was fear he started changing and hangin out with people he would not be hanging out with usually. I was worried because i though he started to do drugs and i still think think so he was a straight A+ student. he was really smart and was on the honor roll. he spent sooo much time with projects for science fairs and looking through his telescope at the sky. now he's going to jail. he got into a big fight at a partyy he should not have been at in the first place. one of the guys in the stupid group lost an eye. he was acting like a stupid thug all the way and even when i was sometimes when i see his old stuff i cant stop crying. people blame marilyn manson when a crazy sad kid shoots his class mates but no one is allowed to blame rap when people who like rap are violent because then thats racist.? Rap isnt innocent. How can people say it is when it is telling you that being a bad person is fun. thats what i think i want to know what you think and to get to know you so i can know what kind of people you are and what you would do. thats why im here - mary
tanbark813 Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Music doesn't make people do things they don't want to. I've been a fan of Eminem and Marilyn Manson for years and have never been in a fist fight nor am I a thug by any stretch of the imagination.
Steveto Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 hi mary, i don't know what to say because this is really a forum for relationships..but what can you do but educate or imrpove education in the world. With education this would not have happpened. Your brother should have been smarter than that..I do hope he learned his lesson. I know you love him, but sometimes you gotta show tough love..make him realize that this is not right. Steve
Grammour Boy Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Hi, Mary. Welcome to the Love Shack! Have fun.
bestlifenow Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Mary, I'm a inner city middle school teacher and your story, unfortunately, really strikes home with me. You're right, he probably did get into drugs. Music can influence behavior in teenagers. But, so can their peers. Their brains, hormones, and maturity are all working against them making good decisions. Remember, good people sometimes do bad things. But the music didn't make him do anything. He made bad choices. I know you're hurt and disappointed, but we don't know how things are going to turn out. This period of time might be the catalyst for him to work on himself, find faith, and change his life. Please, get some help for yourself. He's going to need your strength, prayers, and help. He needs hope...unconditional love...but he also needs someone who won't make excuses for him. Good luck and god speed!
