Does where kids grow up affect their social life?

If kids who grew up in a more urban area rather than a more Suburban area do they have the right to feel entitled to use where they come from to become a product of their environment? Meaning because they grew up having less they feel they have to struggle to do more so they’ll do anything to get what they need. Including: sell drugs, steal etc.

This is a major problem where I live little kids look up to me because I made it out the “hood” and didn’t become a product of the environment I was around and it’s mainly because my mom didn’t allow me to have that mindset she always told me I can be whatever I wanted to be and it stuck w me because it came from my mom.

Also a lot of kids are being raised my broken parents that weren’t raised correctly so it’s a never ending cycle of kids from urban areas to become a product to f their environment sad to say but where I’m from a lot of ppl don’t make it out and it’s very heartbreaking.

So what’s your thoughts on this? Agree or Disagree?
