- No value is placed on education. "You need to go to school so you can get a good job" doesn't mean anything to a kid that has obviously never had a job and most likely their parent(s) are unemployed as well.
- No life management. Generally when I see someone who's been good at school, they get proper food with plenty of nutrition, they exercise and get enough sleep. A child cannot possibly do all these things for themselves and they shouldn't, it's the parents' job, but some parents are fucking losers and don't care as long as they get their welfare checks.
- Social problems, such as bullying. Poor kids are especially easy to bully, they already have a low self-esteem from being "less than". As a child you are constantly reflecting yourself on other people and the differences in socioeconomic classes are really rubbed in your face constantly.
So, from my experience/observations I guess it boils down to self-esteem.
It troubles me that there actually are people who think like you.
I'm pretty sure your definition of a friend is different than most people. I'd label your "friends" as people who are in the same social circles as you because of their socioeconomic status. You, as the hollow facebook drone who has never actually experienced friendship, think that real people socialize by posting pictures of themselves online to boost their image, they don't.
Your life must be lonely and sad, but hey, as long as 500+ people know what you had at that new sushi place last night, who cares, right? #culture #sushi #nightout #selfie #misusedhashtags
