Look at you at least you live with your mother and father. You dont even compare to my life expereinces. So shut the hell up!!.
Okay, let me be CLEAR since you are the type that needs to have things explained VERY well. YOU MISSED THE PART ABOUT ME SAYING THAT I KNOW MANY LATIN UNIVERSITY GRADUATES and yeah they also came here ALONE. My parents came from CHILE with family meaning the two of them and my brother. As for the friends they came here with their children too.....NO ENGLISH...NO JOB...NO MONEY....NO NOTHING. They have ALL gone on to being VERY successful people. I am giving you EXAMPLES of people that went through the SAME things, I NEVER said I immigrated here did I?????? My point is YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE SO GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE AND STOP ACTING LIKE YOU ARE THE ONLY LATINO IN TORONTO TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY MORE THAT ARE PROBABLY EVEN MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN YOU!
Oh and I admit I thought you did live in woodbridge. But dont be bashing me "WITH READ CARFEULLY! look what you wrote: "Here let me say something back at you READ CAREFULLY...WHO THE F**K said I live in WOODBRIDGE....PAY ATTENTION....READ CAREFULLY. If you want to be petty and come on here saying you live in WOODBRIDGE as if it's some big deal, I am saying it's not and before you ask I'll tell you I live in FOREST HILL....I just didn't feel the need to advertise that until now." beacause you made the same mistake in this post !! you should have READ MY LIFE STORY!!! before you posted!. Like I said before you cant even compare your expereinces in life with mine.
First off I was more that happy to point out your errors since you are ALWAYS saying "read what I posted". I thought I would give it right back at you! As for my life expericances, remember YOU are the one that came on here telling his life story not me so YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MINE ARE!
You sound like a little mocosa. Are you spoiled like those woodbridge girls too?
OH THIS IS THE BEST ONE YET! I THOUGHT THE WOODBRIDGE GIRlS WERE THE BEST! Didn't you say how much better people in WOODBRIGE are? CHANGE OF HEART?
who have their mothers and fathers to by them cars?
WRONG AGAIN BUDDY....LIVE in MY OWN PLACE....BOUGHT MY OWN CAR.....INDEPENDENT EDUCATED LATINA REMEMBER!
If forest hill happens to be in woodbridge, then sorry I never knew that.
Okay, I said it TWENTY times....don't live in WOODBRIGDE.....this whole last sentence does not even make sense!!!!!
Another thing I STRONGLY suggest YOU stop giving others spelling or grammar advice until you check your own skills!!!
Oh yeah, last time I checked spiky hair, honda civics and hanging out at DONUT SHOPS (all of which you stated are "cool" things to do) were HIGH SCHOOL hobbies...
THANKS FOR COMING OUT BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME!

Im not going to even bother with you because you cant even post a comment like a civilized person. You fit the typical stereotype of latinos. Do something productive with your life, and learn some basic elementry school english. As a matter of fact you sound like a little punk, so the hell with you.
For you chilenita on: " you are arrogant and that is your biggest problem....notice all the people that DO NOT APPRECIATE the way you express yourself. When I say money can not buy class I truly mean it because class is more than where you live and how you dress.....IT"S ALSO HOW YOU ACT TOWARDS OTHERS! GET IT NOW?"
Call me arrogant or whatever I just take pride in my achivements in life. Look you said that

and for "genie" on "ME IMAJINO Q ERES EL MISMO IDIOTA DE LOS OTRO THREADS BASHING OUR LATIN CULTURE!! WELL GREAT SUCCESS STORY SO NOW LET ME ASK YOU THIS! INSTEAD OF TRASHING YOUR CULTURE YEP K NO SE TE OLVIDE LIKE IT OR NOT YOU ARE LATINO!! WHY NOT HELP AND BETTER THE COMMUNITY HERE IN TORONTO??? PORKE NO TE IMPORTA?? THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE POSTING IN THE FIRST PLACE?? PORQ BIEN KE MAL TE IMPORTA LA COMMUNIDAD Y SI NO FUERA ASI THEN YOU WOULDNT HAVE BOTHERED POSTING OR EVEN GOING 2 OR ATTENDING LATIN EVENTS!!! DO SOMETHING POSITIVE SINCE YOUR SUCH A GREAT SUCCESS STORY!!
OH AND COME BACK ON HERE AND TELL ME YOU OWN A CONDO DOWNTOWN OR IN RICHMOND HILL OR IN SOME OTHER PLACE THEN WOODBRIDGE IS NOT ALL THAT SORRY!!"
Sabes que, I can care less about my cutlure here. Whats one person such as myself get out of preaching 20 "messed up latino kids" when there are about hundreds of latino kids in the same shoes. Its not like 20 makes the difference when there is 20 out of 1000!. Like they are going to listen to me . They are to busy cought up with all the rap videos they see on television so the hell with them as well. Oh and before you "assume" that i was the one who started trashing cutlures in the forum. Think a little bit with your head or are you incapable of that? enough with your assuming! I had nothing to do with the comments made on other latino culutres. So do me a favour and shut your mouth!! . Oh and the condo I live in Woodbridge, I dont need to tell you that im buying a condo at richmond hill or what not to make my story look all that. The moral and lesson of my story is good enough as it is. Come up with some of your life expereinces and see if they match mine.Or are you just "hating" on my success beacause you are livng a "crappy" life.
To you Yesi on "I guess my comment to you is, if you do not have friends that are latinos becasue you think their not going anywhere" i have a couple of latino friends.
"A lot of this Gangsta kids how you call them, can became the most influential or rich people in Toronto in a few years. So do not trash people that dress gansta like or different cause you never know, that person can grow up to be your boss" .
If you are making money selling drugs or becoming a drug dealer then I call that easy money!!. Its all about honest hard work !!. If you change from the ghetto to something "postive" in life then Congrats! .
"So do not trash people that dress gansta like or different cause you never know, that person can grow up to be your boss". Il keep trashing them for dressing up like criminals, and clowns. The day they become someone in life, then you compare them to me!
Last but not least to all of you in this forum who started bashing me all together. I can care less what all of you think !! these are my point of views im posting if you all disagree the hell with all of you!. None of you are not going to change my mind.
Are you any latinos beneficial to me? nope. It didint take me "unity" to achieve in life. You can all help eachother with unity and preaching one another. I never needed help from the latino community here so I can care less about that. Lets face it people theres not enough latinos here in the city to be strong enough in the first place. We must be the minorties of all minorites.
Personally I think there is no such thing as unity now a days, this world is to careless. Do you people personaly help other latinos in unifying?? besides posting comments on "we need to stink together" comments are cheap lets see some actions!! One person said he did . Congrats to you man, you desrve the respect. If any of you are smart you know that I mentioned valid points in this post. This time stop insulting me and please read between the lines.
Wow I could not have putted better myself, It took me like 20 minutes to read this but it was worth it too.
Like Chilenita I know a lot of Latinos that Graduated from University and are doing preety good in life, I own a House and a car myself and I don't see this as a big deal either, so my question to the guy that lives in Woodbridge? Yea you made it so what, a lot of people make it I know a lot of them everywhere. I guess my comment to you is, if you do not have friends that are latinos becasue you think their not going anywhere, then I can just tell you, you are CRAZY, A lot of this Gangsta kids how you call them, can became the most influential or rich people in Toronto in a few years. So do not trash people that dress gansta like or different cause you never know, that person can grow up to be your boss
That is just my opinion, I have friends from everywhere but my closests friends will always be latinos, Tenemos algo en nosotros nuestra fe y el amor por nuestra cultura, cuando esto se pierde nos perdemos nostros mismos.
"Look at me I came from the same ghetto area I was always nice polite humble and stood out of trouble So what do you think" Well, I have said it before and I'll say it again YOU ARE ANYTHING BUT HUMBLE! You think you are somehow more than other Latinos and you are NOT!
"I consider my story one in a million" WRONG AGAIN! My parents immigrated here from Chile many years ago along with friends and family. Every single one of us has an education and good paying jobs. We are also home owners and yes, we have cars too....like a said before....NOT A BIG DEAL. I know MANY Latinos that are UNIVERSITY graduates!
"I want to ask you how many years you lived in Woodbridge? I am starting to doubt that you don't even live in Woodbridge" Here let me say something back at you READ CAREFULLY...WHO THE F**K said I live in WOODBRIDGE....PAY ATTENTION....READ CAREFULLY. If you want to be petty and come on here saying you live in WOODBRIDGE as if it's some big deal, I am saying it's not and before you ask I'll tell you I live in FOREST HILL....I just didn't feel the need to advertise that until now.
You are arrogant and that is your biggest problem....notice all the people that DO NOT APPRECIATE the way you express yourself. When I say money can not buy class I truly mean it because class is more than where you live and how you dress.....IT"S ALSO HOW YOU ACT TOWARDS OTHERS! GET IT NOW?

I just finished reading this whole thread and it was so worth spending the time to do so. This is the most interesting thread I've read so far on this site. I think that the main reason why these kids dress and act this way is mostly to identify themselves with something. Let's not forget that most of us are recent immigrants, and like someone pointed out, these kids try to emulate what they see on tv. Whether we like it or not, this is the image, the one and only image that we see of latinos in the media: either cleaners, nannies or gangsters. So you come to Canada and everything you were or you thought you were is gone. We all try to find ourselves somehow, and we try to be like those similar to us. Plus these are young people who are trying to find themselves, find their own identity: who are we? who do we look like? How can we be different from everyone else? I know there are "success" stories, like that guy in Woodbridge, but the point is, these kids are people like us, we know them. We do know one or two or 20 people like them, they're in our families, in our friends' families. If they don't see any other images, then the "thug" image is what they will think is cool and what they'll follow. They may be nice guys, and yes, there may be the occasional bad apple there too. But if in finding their identity then don't see any other role models than the thug/jail type, that's what they'll become. What these kids need is education, better role models, something useful to occupy their time with. I do see trends changing within the latin community, and hopefully, this is only a passing trend. Hopefully, these young men and women will grow out of that stage and become people that are useful to society. And like someone else said, this is not coming from the bottom up: this is something that comes from the top, and the best way to opress is through ignorance and false images.

I stayed at my step sisters apartment (parkdale) A nice area?? off course not. The building were i lived at is just right bellow queen and lansdowne. If you know what ghetto is , then you know that area is known to be messed up.I came here without knowing a word of english. Then I went to parkdale collegiate back then, a nice highschool? not even. I lived in the area until I was 19. I seen all the thug life , messed up kids in my classroom, drugs gangs shootings. All my friends that i made in the area, they were all in the same shoes as me they didnt live with their parents, some came from broken homes. They dealt drugs a couple of them were involved in gangs, one of my friends suffered from a gun wound and the other was killed. My point here is that i could have easily been doing the same as they did, but I diidnt. Dont even say that I had it better then them because my friend, they at least understood english and were at a higher level then me back then. So then I studied and got threw highschool. I sacrificed myself studied day and night while I was working part time on the side with two jobs. Then I took three years off and i worked fulltime to save money for university. By the time it came for meto goto University, i even had enough money saved up to by a car or move to somewhere better. I had two jobs by the way so as you can see, I was very busy. So then I landed at York University. I got into the field of Accoutning and Finance. then what happened next ? I graduated with a degree. Where am I currently? I live in Woodbridge me and my step sister saved enough money for a downpayment on the condo we are lving in at the moment. I work downtown in a Financial Instittution, and I have my own car by the way. Thats why when i come across these gangster latinos or see any I tell myself If I did something with my life why cant they?. Dont even say my friend that I had it easy because just analyze where i came from. All these italians in woodbridge you see here, I can almost guarantee you that they had similair life experiences to me and they moved up in life. So you understand what im trying to tell you?. I hope my life story can be a lesson to others. Thats why I chose somtimes not to associate with most latinos here my age or younger because many of them havent gone anywhere in life. Its depressing to see this. Id rather not take part in unifying. It didint take me help from others, so I believe if we put are minds to it individualy then we can succeed. I hope i didnt bore any of you. This time I came to you in a respectful manner. No matter if you came from the ghetto or not. Just look at me i lived in the ghetto and I could have gone the wrong way like others did but i didnt. Feel free to comment "

*****POP**** THATS THE BUBBLE YOU LIVE IN POPPING!!!!
i dont know what part of woodbridge you live in but believe or not there has been stabbings and hes there has been shootings or dont you recall when sean paul was shooting a video in OUR area that they shot somebody and yes that person died!!!
Maybe you dont want to realize it but in OUR neighbourhood there is organized crimes or whatever you want to call it, they have full time jobs just you and I but at the side they also have there little "gang" or "family reputation" to keep.....And yes i know this for a fact
OUr neighbourhood is one of the safest?? Ok i used to work at central station for alarm system and let me tell you most of the houses that were being roobed were from woodbridge or as we know it behind "the wall". I have lived in this neighbourhood for about 5 years now and trust me Woodbridge is another city just like every other.......
Look we can go at this all day and all night, that fine i dont have a problem with that!!! I like to know people different views.....
I just think that every race has there problem there always the good and the bad apples we can talk about the blacks, there thugs too and then you have the hard working class, we can say the same about Asian people but just because u made it on your own to where you are now you as a MATURE person you cannot except that from everyone else, YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE and you should be happy period end of story!!!

I DONT CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, IM A PROUD MEMBER OF THE S.L.U.T CAMPAIGN
I just have a couple of things to point out about everyones comments:
1: This post should be called "Young Latinos Trying to Act like CHOLOS" not like Mexicans, cause as we all know and no one bothered to point out (Not even the Mexican Guy) not all Mexicans are Cholos and Not all Cholos are Mexican. If I were Mexican Id be offended to have some idiot generalize my people like that, u cant compare Lil' Puppet and Co. to Vicente Fernandez or Paulina Rubio. As a matter of fact the whole cholo look originated in L.A. (as some one mentioned before me) so technically its a Cali thing not a Mexican thing.
2: Somewhere along the thread we lost the point and went off on a tangent about being ghetto and making it outta the getto and all kinds of "Stand and Deliver" type inspirational testimony, which is great and all but got nothin to do with this topic here.
Just cause these kids dress like that doesn't mean they are in a gang. Far from it, most of them would be traded as currency if they ever came in contact with real cholos. They are just kids who have adopted a style of dressing, stupid as it may be to some of you, and will probably grow out of it in a few years.

Id rather associate with "ginos" then "latinothugs" (are you one of them? you must be!) that look and dress so damm ugly, have no direction in life, and act as if they were black.

As for anonymous once again...u think that everybody that does what u did is going to suceed? nope! you think everyone has ur work ethics? nope! you think everyone has your will power? nope! by knockin on these kids ur causin the cycle to repeat itself over and over again...an wut i mean by giving advice is acting as a role model to these "troubled youth that dress like mexicans and are causin all of the problems in our society"...if anybody can help latinos its latinos like you who have gone through struggles and have so to say "suceeded"...how many murders have their been in woodbridge "none", what is the income difference b/w woodbridge and parkdale "a lot"....these kids are just a by-product of society at large, its just unfortunate that at this moment minorities are occupyin the lower end and the blame is bein put on individuals....look at any country in the americas and it is evident that most crimes/murders etc. occur when SES is the lowest...see my people fall into the same category as ur people, the only difference is that everyday i try to help guide them in a positive direction instead of givin up on them...

Well chilenita refering to your commentYou can take the boy out of the GHETTO but you can't always take the ghetto out of the boy. I came from the ghetto (dont mistake for living the ghetto life). I was surrounded by messed up people. But i chose not to go in the same path as others did. So for your information the ghetto was never in me to begin with. I lived in it but it never got to me. And before you bash me with my insults from the above posts disculpame.
As for the anonoymous. u said thatgive advice on how u did it, i just did look at the key words to the story ,sacrifice ,hard work, and will power. Read carefully please.
Back to you chilenita, u said that you can NOT buy class! i never "had to buy class" . I was always the different one out of the group of people back in parkdale. All these thugs and gangsters were rude and drop outs .You cant blame the ghetto for making them this way. Look at me I came from the same ghetto area I was always nice polite humble and stood out of trouble So what do you think?? pretty damm good eh for a person that came to Canada without knowing no english no parents and surrounded by a im sorry to say this f*** up atmosphere in his life. So for you my story my sound "normal" like you said but hey for a latino I consider my story to be one in a million!. You know how many latinos live in this city , and how they carry themselves so I dont need to go on with that.
As refering to your comment on Don't forget people in organized crime wear suits and live in WOODBRIDGE too....still gangsters they just dress better. I want to ask you how many years have you lived in Woodbridge? Im starting to doubt that you dont even live in woodbridge when u think there is some sord of orgainzied crime here. Maybe there is !. But hey do a little study and analyzation. This area is one of the safest areas in Toronto!. Ive lived here for 3 years now, I have yet to see shootings gang wars or things you see in others areas. I think that comment sounded a bit to immature from your part. Be honest with yourself please.

Ill tell you something, actually this goes out to the people who dont agree with me. I came to Toronto when i was 15. I stayed at my step sisters apartment (parkdale) A nice area?? off course not. The building were i lived at is just right bellow queen and lansdowne. If you know what ghetto is , then you know that area is known to be messed up.I came here without knowing a word of english. Then I went to parkdale collegiate back then, a nice highschool? not even. I lived in the area until I was 19. I seen all the thug life , messed up kids in my classroom, drugs gangs shootings. All my friends that i made in the area, they were all in the same shoes as me they didnt live with their parents, some came from broken homes. They dealt drugs a couple of them were involved in gangs, one of my friends suffered from a gun wound and the other was killed. My point here is that i could have easily been doing the same as they did, but I diidnt. Dont even say that I had it better then them because my friend, they at least understood english and were at a higher level then me back then. So then I studied and got threw highschool. I sacrificed myself studied day and night while I was working part time on the side with two jobs. Then I took three years off and i worked fulltime to save money for university. By the time it came for meto goto University, i even had enough money saved up to by a car or move to somewhere better. I had two jobs by the way so as you can see, I was very busy. So then I landed at York University. I got into the field of Accoutning and Finance. then what happened next ? I graduated with a degree. Where am I currently? I live in Woodbridge me and my step sister saved enough money for a downpayment on the condo we are lving in at the moment. I work downtown in a Financial Instittution, and I have my own car by the way. Thats why when i come across these gangster latinos or see any I tell myself If I did something with my life why cant they?. Dont even say my friend that I had it easy because just analyze where i came from. All these italians in woodbridge you see here, I can almost guarantee you that they had similair life experiences to me and they moved up in life. So you understand what im trying to tell you?. I hope my life story can be a lesson to others. Thats why I chose somtimes not to associate with most latinos here my age or younger because many of them havent gone anywhere in life. Its depressing to see this. Id rather not take part in unifying. It didint take me help from others, so I believe if we put are minds to it individualy then we can succeed. I hope i didnt bore any of you. This time I came to you in a respectful manner. No matter if you came from the ghetto or not. Just look at me i lived in the ghetto and I could have gone the wrong way like others did but i didnt. Feel free to comment

lol, you went a bit martin luther king on us, but yeah, i agree with you. The other guy is just a negative mofo who has probably been jumped many times by some latinos because of his pretty gino looks, hahah. But like this man up here said, if ur gonna say something negative about a situation also say how it can be fixed...

I no te da verguenza decirlo? como crees que un pobre chiquillo de 19 que vive com papi y mami se la quiera dar de delincuente. O eres o no eres. No hay in betweens aca. Y que es eso de que eres peligroso y que estas listo para defender tu barrio? defenderlo de quien? que es esto? son kind of neighbor watch program I don;t know about? Mejor ni te pongas a cuidar tu barrio porque cuando venga un verdadero ladron o delincuente a meterce a tu casa, te vas a hacer la pipi en los pantalones y se te van a terminar de caer, y vas a ir corriendo a donde papi y mami a llorar. Mejor MADURA y dejate de jugar a pretender ser lo que ves en peliculas. Buscate bueno ejemplos para seguir y no sigas de ejemplo a la gente mas basura del planeta porque sino tu tambien vas a terminar siendo basura. Ya tienes 19 aņos, no deberias estar pensando en cosas con sentido?

The thing is that it aint done respectfully, because all these wannabe vatos come with an attitude and act like real gangs from L.A you moron . The whole style is just wack period. Its like they feel the need to copy and they cant even be original themselves.

Im mexican and yes it is embarassing to see young latinos dress like this in Toronto . Let me explain something to you "youngins"; Copying a negative image does not make you look tuff or cool. You guys look like idiots with no personality and style. The "cholo" lifestyle and fashion is a west coast I REPEAT a west coast thing that MEXCIANS invented not centro americans or southamericans. Its not even a positive image you should even look up to because gangsters are the ones who made this fashion up.I travelled to Los Angeles and I have seen the real "cholos" , They have nothing to do with the fake ones you see here. Like the person who posted this topic said GROW UP and stop making us look bad. If you are going to follow a trend dress urban. I REPEAT the mexican "cholo" style is a mexican thing!!. Dont get things twsited here, I for one feel embarssed that when I tell someone Im mexican, they automaticaly assume of gangs East L.a and that disgusting clothing style they wear.
This has to be the funniest and truest post to date.
Many here know that if they go back to their home country talking and acting like that, they will get their bums kicked by their own malandros for looking and acting like idiots.

Ok, I've been to "la isla" and NY, and I've seen the boricuas and "platanos" there, talked to them as well. Mira, algunos usan terminos de "vatos", and I don't see them getting "f!@!@#". I think these terms are used just to be able to chat it up with fellow Mexicans. Also, I haven't seen a group of people laughing at a "lonely" Mexican either. Ahora en la isla es otra historia, hay turistas Mexicanos entonces alguna gente ha sido expuesta al vocabulario. Nothing wrong with that. However, when you compare the way "vatos" express themselves and how you express yourself, I prefer a "vato" talk to me. (I find it kinda funny and cute).
