I believe that people maybe born into a bad or good situation but it doesn't mean that they will end up that way. There are people that were born in bad neighborhoods and grew up around gangs and drug abuse and never got involved in it. Instead of taking part of what was going on around them they stayed away and made a better future for their self. So that their family's wouldn't have to go through what they did.
Michael Ore the guy from the movie the Blind Side he grew up in a house where his mom used drugs and she didn't take care of him. He lived in a neighborhood where there were drug dealers and just a bunch of bad stuff going on. He stayed away from that stuff and when he finally ended up with the white family from the movie he bettered himself.
There are people that were poor when they were young and had little money for necessities and now are rich and power full. Lionel Messi the best soccer player in the world was very poor when he was little. His father was a factory worker and his mom was part time cleaner when he was young he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency. Now he has been named the best soccer player in the world more then once and is playing soccer for one of the best clubs in the world and his caught money.
