THere are a lot of kids that I grew up with and younger than me that I knew who’s families (considered middle to upple class, successful) were in the suburbs that have fukked up lives. Being in the suburbs or living way out doesn’t guarantee nothing . Either they grew up too sheltered; didn’t take advantages of the opportunities they had, or tried to emulate what they assumed was the “city” lifestyle trying to be something they’re not. I know children of lawyers and executives who were teenage parents or on drugs, or at rehab centers. I have cousins that have been lifetime section 8 recipients who live out in nice houses in the suburbs in decent neighborhoods whose kids could barely finish junior high school bc of behavioral issues. Any values, discipline and structure starts at home; if support is lacking, education is not stressed, low morals it doesn’t matter where a person lives. Don’t act like city kids aren’t attending college- judging by your standards then I wasn’t supposed to be shyt bc I was in the city, my parents weren’t on me like that with education and they weren’t that emotionally supportive, but the finances were straight and we lived in the city.
The private school I went to, one of my classmates was murdered, the other one has 5 kids by the time she was 29, another - teenage pregnancy, and other stories similar when this was supposed to be a “reserved” school environment. There were only 20 students in the class- so what's the stats on that?
No- shytty parenting comes into it when they don’t place limitations at home and have no boundaries regardless of the environment. So all kids who grow up on the city have selfish parents or fukked up in the head? Drugs are just as accessible in burbs, car accidents happen anywhere. Dudes from the burbs serving 10 yr sentences. Financial suicide.. whuuttt? I personally know people on the burbs and country living in new construction homes, high incomes but struggle everyday with bills bc they are trying to keep up appearances or live out their “financial success” fronting - that’s selfish to kids too bc they’re parents are stressing and too distracted to manage their kids. None of what you said holds weight.
