Question

Explanation:

To determine the personal risk factor for joining a gang, we analyze each option:

• "Receiving poor grades" is an academic issue, not a personal psychological/social risk for gang joining.
• "Having a family member in a gang" is a familial/societal influence, not a personal internal factor.
• "Hearing others discuss being in a gang" is an external social influence.
• "Feeling isolated from the popular in - crowd" is a personal emotional/psychological state that can drive someone to seek belonging in a gang, making it a personal risk factor.

Answer:

feeling isolated from the popular in - crowd
