Everybody wants to have sex - you don't have to have a baby when you're 16. You don't have to do drugs.

Henry Louis Gates

It was at home I learned the little I know.

I grew up with poor white people in West Virginia, and I know there's a culture of poverty. I know that I've seen white people perform exactly the same pathological forms of behavior as Black people do when they're systematically deprived, whether it's getting pregnant, doing drugs, dropping out of school, whatever we're talking about. I think that we should have affirmative action for poor white people too.

I always wanted to be grown up. When I was little I couldn’t wait to be a teenager and go to high school. When I got there I wanted to be done with it, wanted to get out into the world, the real one, and live in it. The thing is, that world doesn’t exist. All growing up means is that you realize no one will come along to fix things. No one will come along to save you.
Elizabeth Scott

I would say to a young person: continue to study. Study what is taking place in your community, in your neighborhood, maybe at your school.
