Early life Ben lived in a the city of Detroit with his older brother Curtis. One day Ben’s mother said to him that his dad was going away for a while and that he had done same bad things. But Ben couldn't accept that and he asked questions all the time and his mother got tired of it and finally told him. Their father had another family, kids, and wife so Ben’s mother kicked him out the house forever and Ben was very sad he said every day eh went to the end of the driveway and waited for him to come home but he never did. When he started going to school he didn’t make very good grades and all the kids picked on him and laughed and called him names. When they had their eye exams by the school they said he couldn't see so good he could have classified as cripple. So the school provided him glasses for free.

Ben also had angers problems he tried to stab his best friend over a radio station. He tried to punch his mother and his brother took him to the ground. Ben learned how to control his anger by praying to god and ignoring what people say to him. Bens Anger Problems

One day they were driving down the road together and Candy went to sleep and left Ben driving and Ben got to tired and went to sleep.
