Lil J is a 17 year old boy who lives in the projects that is in deep trouble with the law.Living in Harlem with his drug addicted mother. With no one to tell him whats wrong and right he falls very behind in school. Life is really hard for him.With no money or job he says hes "dope sick" and needs some cash real fast. He remembers that his friend Rico has a job offering to bring in alot of money but it includes drugs. Lil J feels somethings wrong while his friend Rico is seriously nervous. As they continue with the drug deal things go south.  As Rico reacts badly because of the dope they get into a shootout. One cop ends up dead, Lil J gets shot in the arm. As they go on the run Rico ends up getting caught meanwhile Lil J hides in an abandon drug house. 

If your mother wasn't in the best state of mind , would you work harder to have a better life and show her you want to succeed. Or would you make dumb choices like Lil J and possibly end up like his mother ?

  3. I would work hard for myself. I would step up and actually try in school to have a good future. I would probably make stupid decisions along the way like all kids do but i would strive for the best.

  4. If my mother was not in the best state of mind I would still try my hardest to succeed in life and push through all the horrible things that could be going on with my mother. I would want to show her that I still could do well in life even though she is not there to set that good example everyone needs. I would attend school and try my hardest to get good grades and then hopefully go to college or university. I would also try to get a job so I could raise my own money. I would try my hardest to be successful rather than follow in my mothers foot steps.

  5. If you are in the same position as him, it is right to work extra hard for your mother because she raised you, feed you, and gave you shelter. The least you can do is smarten up and help your mother out.
