I just came across your channel, and I couldn’t stop watching! I love what you're doing and how brave you are for being so open about your life. I grew up in Washington Dc , its so interesting to hear how different, but similar experiences are regardless of who/where you grow up. I'm sorry to hear about your friend/MC! I really hope this channel blows up, your heart is def in the right place! Thanks again (from a mom of 2 girls in DC) ❤
Good chat big guy. Im 46 now with a 13 year old. Luckily he's doing well and keeps a good group of pals, all into sports and outdoors. My mum and dad thought getting us out of Maryhill, Easterhouse and Cumbernauld and into Ayrshire would give me and my older brother a better chance. Wee toons are often worse! My brother already had the Glesga accent and that meant hassle from day one for him as he moved down and right into the academy. Thats when the fitba casuals were in full swing. I hit the primary and even then, it was fights most days. Held my own aw the same and some of those boys ended up good pals. Some are now dead through drugs or accidents. I struggled with alcohol for years but aff it noo. You're on the ball with leading by example. Im still with the same girl from age 16 and mum to my boy. Youve got to realise the shit in your own life and try and deal with that positively. Thats no easy but can be done. Take it easy big yin. Now subscribed.
Yeah social media has most definitely made things worse. There have always been gangs even when I was growing up. But they just stuck to themselves and kept away from anyone not affiliated with them. Its a very different world now,but even back then my parents were vigilant because even a teenager a good home can go astray. Enjoy your class and dont hurt yourself 😊
I was brought up with a single mother and she done her best but it takes a man to bring up a boy in his footsteps.glad your back at your classes as it healps with your mental health and and keeps your heart pumping very important get back to your classes kris love to you and yours ❤️ chrisL
Ahm sorry tae Hear of the death of a young n rock n roll soul brother.💔. It’s no right Chris man eh . I was working with a lad who showed up to meet with me n he had a Rambo knife uo his back .

Hope you’re doing good fella it’s no an easy gig Kris keep at it pal you’ll inspire n help make change just wae yer channel
I’m no sure if I have commented on this video Kris . Happy Sunday tae yae fella . Mate it sounds like you know yer onions pal . I’m sick AF to hear about yet more of our youth dying it’s no right man . I became the addict I became because of a lot of the stuff you spoke of . How we are conditioned as young people has a profound impact on who and how we become as adults,your ACE awareness is awesome Kris well done mate for educating yourself and becoming the best version of yourself. It’s fkn challenging to live a “normal” life in abnormal conditions. Sending you positive energy n good vibes for the week ahead. So chuffed for yae fella keep it lit man .
We need funding for guys like yourself talking to young teams at schools. Not for an afternoon but for a set of afternoons in a block booking over a month let’s say. To build up a rapport and to get through to them. I’d love to do it but ma kids don’t have any idea of how I was at their age. What you say tho resonates strongly with how I remember it even though it was early 80’s when I started etc. I never watched the programme you mention. Maybe I’ll check it out. Anyway good stuff yer putting out. 👏👏
@@TinPailTV Good stuff. No doubt you’ll have people about you to assist or advise. In saying that if you ever need to bounce any ideas: forward planning/presentations etc then don’t hesitate to say. Just putting that out there. 😊 I’m in Clydebank and have transport and time! 😏
Brilliant content mate. Theres a few videos on my channel tbat might open your eyes to the deeper reasons for the destruction of the UK and beyond. Keep it up mate, the youth need to hear you. ❤
How long have you been out of Shotts? My aunty has worked in there for about 15-17 years now and she loves it and says she gets along well with the people in there (no cap lol)! Congrats on raising ur kid, n turning ur life around, can only imagine how hard it is, im from just outside the city n saw some crazy stuff growing up but can only imagine what its like in glasgow (got chased by glaasgow lads randomly coming and chasing me n mates with knives n bottles for no reason a few times, thankfully each time there was a quick escape route, one was a main road and another was the town centre security letting us in when it was closed lol.
Any good parent would do life for their kids if it came to it. Obviously you changed fir the better brcause you wanted to. Can a ask who was your biggest help/influence when going on the straight and nsrrow?
Lost to many friends due to addiction young from 17 18 21 22 23 and on over my life in Glasgow I lost 56 friends from from drugs that's when my chance to get away from it but ther all ways in my prayers.thanks pal good comments thanks💚
@@Chrismcgowan-w6vman it sucks , it doesn’t matter to me if ppl have been to jail , commited crimes etc, if they have genuinely changed and tried to understand what cause that in there lives then I will always support that . Same with addiction, yes as addicts or recovering addicts we can all make really shitty selfish bad choices but no one asked to become and addict and it’s almost always masking some other trauma or feeling , so again as long as ppl are trying to help themselves I will help if I can . It’s not always that simple tho because sometimes ppl need you to look out for them and try hard before they will believe in themselves. I suppose in the end what I’m saying is always try and be there for each other . I’m certainly no angel and nothing special and not particularly religious but my one blessing definitely was having a devout catholic granny who was very liberal and living and how taught me so much . Her view always was and so is mine is if there is a god and a paradise and being caring loving and respectful to ALL is the way In then great and if not , then you didn’t do anyone any harm by trying to stick to the principles I spoke of . I also firmly believe things can and will be improved but only if and when we start listening to the people who have been through end support and use that at a top level and through our education and reform of all kinds . No matter of all that tho nothing eases losing so many loved ones , all I can say is I’m sure they are proud of you changing your ways ✊
Up in Aberdeen there wasnt much tit for tat teenage gang in gang violence, it seems to be people get into selling white and dark asap, and its sad im 32 and hear 14 year olds on the bus glorifying it.
Yeah it goes deeper and you know that from experience Kris. ln order to cope kid's are detaching from soul/switching emotion's OFF in order to get through their pain/trauma/loss & the ripple effect is pain internalised means no feeling's for self never mind other's and you can inflict damage which inflates the ego & never touches the emotion's ( empathy compassion is zero.
Rest is peace m2, what a shame man. I can mind years ago there was a doc about Glasgow gangs, early 2000s I’m sure and the woman was an American reporter and she says in a pure yanky accent “tonight in DOWNTOWN posso” always made me chuckle that lol. Brilliant listen again mate
Aye Fleeto. Musta been around the time glesga was the murder capital Anyone remember a docu/film called possil girls in the 90's C.S.I Fruin steet Wee schemes are probably worse, like the drum/cmilk you could be in the shoppin centre anonymous cos the size of the places are (Am no including E/house cos they kept the territorial gang warfare going to the end I never thought that daft drill woulda took off in Scotland.. Probably a terrible example but the city with the razor gangs n machetes up until the whole young team thing kinda died down A Londoner or a yank "gangster "rapper would FLEE the scene if they didn't have the ole brap brap. Point is lol pullin a trigger isn't the same as bein chibbed up close (or up a close) am no glorifying ma cities past but maybe we've been fkn pussified by snp or whoever or the wee guys noo think pffft daft runnin battles without gettin paid, all wee ticket bread heads.. I just mean if glesga had half the amount of brap brap these guys down south or America had we all know the murder rate here would be far far higher Was a documentary up the drum - 'young drummy boys, forget who made it tho.. vice maybe No sure but it shows how this daft drill scene is. Back in the day 2 diff ends of the scheme wouldn't be buddy lol or have the same young team initials..
Bang on wae this mate, everybody was in the same position and were up for the madness, wearing berghauses/lacoste trackies was like wearing crips/bloods colours ahhaha no one was tryin to show off for social media everyone was projecting their on problems! Think its funny how we listened to hardcore dance music n now its rap about killings and stabbings, a think that would have been mad listenin to that back in the day
@@TinPailTV it was always tupac and biggie but none ae that encouraged u to go hunting for people😂that hardcore rave was something else that set everybody up gor the madness😂😂
I mind the early 2000s can't mind the excat year but I was with a boy from wine ally in Govan we were in a hostel in Govanhill and got a bus to the whiny for a 7.50 bit of hash aff my pals uncle and as soon as wee walked into wine ally a boy said ibrox boys are heading down yi backing us up and we were there so we said aye no bother we're just jumping roon for a bit of hash we'll be back in 5minutes, I swer we ran roon got the weed and ran back roon and the wee guy who asked us for back up was lying dead stabbed to death and ibrox were gone. I'm fae the east end and brought up with gangs so wasn't a big deal but my m8 had said you want to stand with him and I said aye sound and then he said naw fk it come with me so you can meet my uncle and that probably saved my life cos I'd have fought against ibrox with the boy that got killed and I'd have maybe had coped it instead of him. I think that one stands out coz it wasn't gangs I knew
hi Kris loved this subject i don't know if you've heard of a charity in north Edinburgh called Midnight and Beyond who work with local youths.Last year youth crime was reduced by 80% in the area ? sorry if not allowed keep up the good work buddy
The LA GANG UNIT came over to Glasgow in the 90s to train the pigs, the clowns implied the stop and search carry on, split us into pairs if you were in a crowd and moved you on from the usual hangouts like the shops the close or the stairs etc, did it stop us lol did it fk 😂
@@duncankeary6767in our schemes we fought because it was your duty to protect your own areas, but when we hit the nightclubs the battles where for control of the drug scene, fighting for control of schemes was left to the older guys involved in the local underworld and plenty shootings happened plus a few of the older guys disappeared without a trace
@@duncankeary6767 la gangs kill each orher because of the colour of the rag there wearing ffs its nothing to do with territory, the crips and bloods have there own neighbourhoods and usually dont enter each other's territories

@TinPailTV She was probably just joining or already joined by that point. Her name is kat or katarina, and her family moved here from Denmark 🇩🇰
@PresidentHedgehog7956 There's a woman wae that name fae Denmark in my Karate class. Weird.
I seen a couple of you tube videos of James Docherty from A.C.E Aware saying the same things.
I know James. Decent guy who speaks a lot of sense.
Wee never had smart phones and social media in 90s early 2000s bro, thank god for that 😅 take care big man
