it does depend a lot on self ... sometimes, even parents can be
misleading. willpower and the ability to make choices and find your
way out of this maze of a world. going to a below average school,
afraid of bad peer pressure.
thing is, going to a good school, as much as there's a better
chance of positive peer pressure, humans are chameleons, changing
their skins to suit the surroundings, fool predators, catch prey,
defence, attack etc. , no guarantee that child going to good school
will end up good i guess. everything has it's perks and falls.
depends on the choices made.
no guarantee that child won't run into bad influences, maybe not
gangs, but of another kind. like learning how to stab to gain
recognition, take credit etc. to boost results .. it does happen,
quite complicated. it's like growing up super quick, one way or
other. "bad" sch or "good" sch
