Gang Affiliation

This is one of the more detrimental examples. Especially when you are growing up in households that offer no means of stability, identity, safety, or inclusion. Usually young boys, of similar situations will bond together and create synthetic versions of these missing elements. Because these children have no real experience or guidelines for creating their rules and the discipline to follow them, usually an outsider is seen as a threat. Also, because boundaries are never established and because the pecking order changes constantly, those outsiders are usually treated with the maturity of pissed off teenagers. I guess that's kind of the only group think I had experience with.
