Praying is basically hoping something you have no control overm some how turns out positive..........

One wrong peer or bully is all it takes for all Hell to break loose..............

I take it you never watched intervention?
No I have never watched intervention. I have raised two awesome young men, and I have coached and been active with about 100 of their peers over the last 15+ years. Kids from every income bracket - all races and all of that. The kids that succeed have a good home life, I have been to their homes and I know their parents. The ones that find trouble have bad home life. Most of the ones that do not succeed are from poor drug addicts, but almost as numerous are kids from affluent rich neighborhoods in which their parent are way too caught up in their own selfish lives.

I'm guessing you are not a parent, and I hope you grow up before you decide to become a parent. If you think sending your kid to the rich kids school is the magic formula, you have plenty to learn.

Two of my boys closest friends growing up... Dad was a big time developer he had more money than all of us here. He had all the toys, and spared no expense for his boys. But he and their mom never really spent the time to love them. Older of the two took his own life at age 19 with a shotgun he bought from Dicks an hour earlier. The younger brother grieved and tried to kill himself by running his mustang off the road at a tree a couple months after graduating. He failed and his parents gave him shit for wrecking his new Mustang. He was found hanging in his room a couple days later - discovered by his 5-year old sister.

Kids need their parents attention and love. It is a simple formula, but many parents are too frigging busy to give it.
