    pretty much all of my high school friends went off the deep end, except for myself.

    my best friend went to jail for heiron positition and beating his girlfriend.
    other friends dropped outof college and burned out on drugs to the point they looked/sounded like mushmouths, or if they were women, they got married at like 20 and popped out kids and never had jobs.

    one of my girlfriends became a nun
    another one became a stripper
    another became a nun then became a trad wife
    another one became a poor broke hippie and married the guy she dated after me who was poor broke musician, and they both became addicts.

    a lot of people, even if they did graduate college and get jobs, lived at home, married very young, and basically inherited their parents homes and never left the area. they never lived on their own

    I grew up in a shitty town that was in the lower quartile of economy/education.
