A lot of people have grown up without fathers and did not get in trouble. It's not the lack of a father that causes someone to become a thug. That's just a convenient excuse to try and dismiss their behavior.............and a way to avoid being called a racist for telling the real reason.
You must not have had a father at home, or a very passive one. Young teen boys are natural arsholes. They need an ass kicking to get them to tow the line every once in a while. I distinctly remember a couple of tune ups I received for acting like an [bleep] and quickly realized that was not a path to be on if I didn’t want the old man’s wrath! 70 some odd percent of blacks grow up fatherless and lok at the crime rate of that demographic. There was a time when this wasn’t the case, before uncle sugar because husband to the black brood sows.
