(+) Yeah! (+)

school days that were kinda troublemakers... and you ran into them later on as adults? How were most of them doing? Had they grown up into pretty successful adults?

I remember one from sixth grade becoming a huge drug dealer. I don't know what happened with him.

One older kid i hung out with a few times in elementary ended up as a millionaire after inheriting his parents bar/restaurant thing. He was kinda a dick though.

I was that kid.

No.

Most of them are in prison or dead.

Two of the worst kids I knew growing up who actually used to live across the street from us (we were SO glad when they moved) are both dead. One died in a confrontation with the police, and the other died in prison.

Their mom was a piece of work, too, so they probably had no chance at a normal life.

No. I haven't lived in Santa Ana or Rowland Heights in years.

I was that kid, but have also run into other hoodrats

most of my entire school was bad kids, I live in south houston

Yeah, several.

One remained a dick, and just stared daggers at me until I waved and then he ignored me.

Another wasn't so much a troublemaker as much as he associated with them. We never interacted much in school, but he liked to encourage behavior from the others. Encountered him at my retail job as adults and he was actually super nice.

One guy was a terrible bully to me. When I was 9 I was severely injured in a car wreck. Once he found out about it, and that I had been in physical therapy it got worse. He knew I had a back injury and was still not 100% recovered from surgery. So he beat me up. Made sure to punch me in the gut where the surgery happened and knee me in the back where I was injured too. Anyway, he dropped out in early high school and got heavy into drugs. Met him again in my mid 20's. I didn't recognize him at first, so he was surprised that I was nice to him. Then even more surprised after he explained who he was and I was still nice. He had a pentagram tattooed on his forehead and looked really rough. But he turned out nice too. He kept coming back to talk every now and again, said due to how he looked and bad blood from his younger days that people don't treat him well. So appreciated that I did.
