No, I do not agree because say you grew up in a bad neighbor hood where there were drugs and shootings everyday, you might not be one of those people that grow up and do stuff like that. You Might live in a house that looks bad from the outside, but from the inside it might be really nice, you wont ever know untill you find out.

I think that the neighborhood that you live in does show what kinda of a person you are, but at the same time you can live in the hood and be a good and nerdy kid so it is a in the middle thing.
Skyler Gaines. Yes, Because if some one lives in a rich neighborhood then they would act rich sometimes or just act normal.

I dont think that you can tell a lot about a person from where he/she live because some people can be from a bad neighborhood and be the sweetest person on the world. Like my friend is from a sort of bad neighborhood but she is one of the sweetest and most wonderful persons you could ever know.

I totally agree with this persistied comment and i think that we all have something personal about each of us! like say theres a black girl that lives in the getto and you would see her dressed in baggy sloppy clothes and she talks like a gangsta and then you got a white princess that lives in the subards! you see her pulling up in a limo and her driver lets her out and shes wearing all pink, SHORT skirt, TITE shirt! then you no were there from!

I agree but disagree. I would say that you can tell certin characterisics of a person but not really there personailty. My mom and I just recently moved to a different nieghboorhood. Its not the best. There are people that live next door, that have no respect for themselves as well as my mother and I. You can hear them screeming and using foul language. I myself don't think you can know someone just by where they live. Yes you can pick and choose where to live but then again you can't. And we couldn't.
The one that is on top is kerstins
Byron
I agree with this statement. The reason I agree is I have some friends that come from bad neighborhoods and they aren't all that great.
Gregory
No. because if someone lives in a bad city where there are gangs and drugs does not mean that they are in a gang or that they do drugs. And if someone lives in am small nice town does not mean that they are nice they could be really mean.
Dustin
no i dont agree with this statement because alot of people have gone on in life and have done realy great things but they had came from the worst neighborhoods
Jacob Bickel
I disagree with this statement. My reasoning for disagreeing is that some people can have money and not care what condition there house is in or what it looks like.

no i dont agree, I think that a person can be good and have alot of money but they just live in a bad neighborhood. I think that a how a person acts has nothing to do with were they live and what it looks like.
Xena I totally agree with you. I used to live in a bad nieghborhood myself adn when we finally gott out of there I still wouldn't do the kind of things they would do. Such, as gun vilonce and drug dealing.
Austin
No I don't because you can be a person who can't live in the areas you fit in but that dosen't mean you are like the people in the area you live in.
yihuan.
i dont agree.
Taylor
I do not agree with this statement because you can't judge someone on there apperance, or how they act. For example myself, I don't really live in the greatest neighborhood. But you wouldn't be able to tell, because like I said you can't judge someone on there appearnce.
Michael
I disagree, because you can live in a bad neighborhood, were people do drugs and there are shootings. Just because you live in that place doesn't mean your going to be the same.
Anthony-
I do not agree with the statement. I don't because some people who live in bad or rundown shabby neighborhood don't always act the way that there house or there neighborhood looks like. Some people who live in shabby neighborhoods are relly good people but can't afforded nice belongings and/or homes. But at the same time people who live in good or bad neighborhoods can do drugs and bad things. For example one of my family friends use to live in a rundown neighborhoods with people who did bad things and that person was one of the nicest and careing people I know.
Jacob i agree. Sometimes your to the point that you don't have all the money in the world to buy the nicest house. & money DOESN't make a person.

The neighborhood doesn't necessarily show what kind of person you are, because you could live in a bad neighborhood and be a good person
CHELSEA
Ok theres my friends neighbor hood and there are bad people but there not that bad! ya acationally they drink and party and do stuff but that doesn't make any difference SO THAT MEANS I AGREE AND DISAGREE OK GOTTCHA!

Well there are some wanna be people that TRY to act black but at the same time they live in the town of Knox and Knox only has like a hand full of black people, so i dont see the point in that=)
Chris
I agree with the statement because the way they act and wat kind of colors they wear in the hood show a few things about the person. One time i lived in Chicago and many kids wore black bandanas witch ment they were in a gang.
I agree with Brianna
CHELSEA
I COME FROM A GREAT NEIBOR HOOD BUT IM BAD! I AGREE!
Virginia
Yes I agree. Most people chose to live in neigborhoods they feel comfortable at. My parents enjoy living in the country part because they love how it's very quiet and the fact that they have more privacy. Some people chose to live in cities..some small and some big. I miss living in town. I loved being close to everything like maybe fast food places. (: It was always nice being able to walk around and enjoy listening to the cars rush past me. So I definetely agree with this statement.
Ben
Yes i agree a lot about the statement. I agree because you can tell if someone lives in da hood. You can tell by the way the walk, talk, and the colors they wear. This one time when i lived in Winamac (weinersmack) you could tell if they were in the gang. You could tell because of the colors they wore bandanas, and the way they wore there pants all the way at there ankles.
