I am from Hampshire, Illinois. A tiny town that has a small population and a big crime rate. It has a lot of murder and a lot of kidnapping. I walk home every day afraid to turn back. I walk home afraid of what might happen. When i get home I have a caring family other than my brother. I go home and he comes in with his knife collection. One time he held a knife against my throat and almost slit it. My mom walked in and stopped him. He hangs out with all the gangs in our town. He is a druggy. He hits my mom and always gets what he wants because my parents are afraid he will do something. His name is John. I have 2 sisters. One is in college ( Sara ) and one is 3 (Aliya ). I hope things would get better....
