If you save your money, don't get messed up with drugs, stay in school and get decent grades, don't have a baby when you are a teenager, don't commit crimes, have respect and don't play the victim you will do well in life. But someone needs to teach these values and they need to sacrifice for you to make a better life. This is the basic difference between the poor and middle class, the repitition of behaviors generation after generation. Someone needs to break the cycle before good things can start.
