Am I the only sane one here?

Alright so I am 21 and having been kicked out on the streets and homeless since 18 down in southeastern Arizona, 3 years later I can say I'm glad to have moved to this Central/Northern part of the state for various reasons. One, I had almost no connections, friends, etc from High School in Benson, AZ, and so I wasn't missing out on jack coming up to Phoenix. 2) I found out for myself that Phoenix Job Corps is poop, just don't go there. The "all-ethnicities" kids who are all colors treat it as if "everyone has a right to education but just make sure not to treat anyone new how you'd want to be treated", and since leaving that program I've found that attitude is kinda scattered high and low throughout the city, you just get to pick and choose if you're gonna engage in it or allow others to mess with you. 3) My fondest memories here still stand surprisingly: Getting physical MEPS for the Air Force at the YMCA here in downtown (although military eventually did not become my destination any longer) and everything we did as a small town high school we got to do much richer up in this city called Phoenix. Unlike some of these reviews here like, "I'm conservative, raised southern blah blah here are all the things wrong with Phoenix", I'm here to tell you you don't have to take advice about how life is here from essentially ok another transplant to here who hasn't stayed that long. I'm grown and raised in this state, been homeless in this state, and it's all about the experiences you have and things you do to stay busy and entertained like anywhere else that make your time in Phoenix meaningful. If you were expecting utopia galore and never any problems here, isn't that what finding unicorns and Atlantis
