When you force a kid into survival mode before they’re 10 years old and they spend years in that mindset, you can forget about getting that kid to EVER trust authority or conform to social norms, and that’s IF they make it to full adulthood without self destructing first.
Let the rich kids stay with their ilk and let the poor kids stay in their zone. These two groups are raised with 2 very different sets of standards and should not have to suffer each other’s existence.
