The reason i started

I think there were two places where I developed my slang/ Ebonics. The first reason I may have developed it is because of how I was raised.

It was not my mother that was using the disruptive and broken language but my peers, uncles, and other people I saw on a daily basis. They were (and still are) the type of people that couldn’t speak correctly to save their lives. I eventually adapted to it so I could be able to talk to everyone in my environment. After I started using it I was always being viewed very different. One would think that maybe it started to become a negative outlook but in fact it was the opposite. People seemingly wanted to hold full conversations with me now that I spoke like them.

The second reason I started to use slang was because it sounded good and it was used everywhere (or so I thought). I was in 6^th grade at Aim High Academy when I said my first curse word in public for example. The environment there was not the best true enough but I still had a choice. Reminiscing about it now, I think about it as if I may have been trying to fit in with everyone else.
