If the gang does get involved in any crime, particularly violent crime with rival gangs, there is definitely increased risk for you, and possibly your other non-gang friends and family.

Not all gangs will be unsafe, involve taking risks or be unhealthy, but some are, and you may know yourself if you are potentially at risk or already at risk.

It is important that if you are a victim, to speak to someone and seek help. Maybe there is a school counsellor, youth service, or person in authority, who you can talk to and who can help you decide what to do.
