Teardrop is a sensitive little Homegirl. While most people can brush off a little teasing, Teardrop can’t handle it. If she hears anyone talking smack about her, she won’t confront them—she’ll just cry. Some of the Homegirls, like Right Eye and Negra, tease her just to see her cry, enjoying watching her big, crocodile-sized tears fall. It’s pretty harsh, right?    Her boyfriend has been telling her to take boxing classes to help her stand up for herself, and Teardrop’s decided to join the PAL (Police Athletic League) gym next Monday. PAL is a solid program run by some police departments to offer young Homies an athletic outlet instead of just hanging out. If you’re interested, check with your local police department to see if there’s a PAL program in your area.
