Early life
Born in the
Dorchester neighborhood of
Boston, Massachusetts, he is the youngest of nine children,
[1] with siblings Arthur, Jim, Paul,
Robert, Tracey, Michelle, Debbie, and
Donnie Wahlberg. His mother, Alma Elaine (
n?e McPeck), was a bank clerk and nurse's aide, and his father, Donald Edward Wahlberg, was a
Teamster who worked as a delivery driver; the two divorced in 1982. Wahlberg had a
Catholic upbringing and attended Copley Square High School (but never graduated) on
Newbury Street in
Copley Square in Boston. The campus now houses Muriel Snowden International School.

As a teenager, Wahlberg participated in several acts of violence and vandalism. He later claimed to have been in trouble 20-25 times with the
Boston Police Department as a youth. By the age of thirteen Wahlberg had developed a serious addiction to
cocaine and other substances.
[3] At fifteen he harassed a group of
African American teens on a
field trip by throwing rocks (causing injuries) and shouting epithets.
[4] When he was sixteen (again using racist language) after robbing a pharmacy under the influence of
PCP, Wahlberg knocked a
middle aged Vietnamese man unconscious, left another Vietnamese man permanently blinded in one eye, and attacked a security guard.
[5][6][7][7] For these crimes, Wahlberg was charged for
attempted murder, pled guilty to assault, and was sentenced to two years in jail at Boston's
Deer Island House of Correction, of which he served 45 days.
[5][8] In yet another incident, the 21-year-old Wahlberg fractured the jaw of a neighbor in an unprovoked attack.
