Answer:

Joey will end up in a gang like his brothers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some children and adolescents are motivated to join a gang for a sense of connection or to define a new sense of who they are. Others are motivated by peer pressure, a need to protect themselves and their family, because a family member also is in a gang, or to make money.

Also, I took the quiz :)
