Who are you?

Do you miss where you came from? 
Yes, coming from Los Angeles to here was totally different kind of a slight culture shock you could say

What are the main problems to watch out for in the United States, particularly for young people?
I came from L.A. I don't think that all young people have the same problems cause from state to state young people are doing different things in L.A. are different I worry more about gangs a lot more than probably people out here do in Winston-Salem but one thing state by state is the same the amount of drug use that young adults do
