That's why church and other things that give kids adult role models outside of their immediate neighborhood is good. Kids in those areas need to see that not everyone is fucked up and they don't have to be just because 80% of the adults in their life are.
Just because you have good role models doesn't mean you have a 100% guarentee of coming out 100% perfect yourself, but it's sad when an otherwise good kid doesn't get to see that there is another world, besides people they assume to just be rich. Otherwise they might just think that it's about rich verse poor. When really it's about well adjusted and not well adjusted, and that there is a whole world out there with 1000x less drama that's in the same income bracket as them.
