Absolutely false. Gotta love selective Stereo typing. I personally know a handful of people that came from great homes, were great students, played sports, had high school jobs. They chose to dabble in some harder drugs. Then the drugs started bossing them around. When they got to the point where their parents started noticing. Their parents either slapped the shit out of them to set them straight or they kept making excuses for them. Either way, it was up to the individual. It was their choice. I know just as many people “including myself” that woke up one day in a fog and looked in the mirror and said. “I’m done” and live productive lives. My dad killed himself when I was 5 and I lived in extreme poverty my entire childhood. I got into drugs and alcohol bad. I have every excuse in the book to be out there stealing catalytic converters but I chose not to.
