In all due honesty, this is partly the reason they'd rather just do away with at least a quarter of society. Way to many kids lost off into stuff like this, at some point you grow up and collecting "the pokemen" of life is over. I look at these kids and I am thankful I don't see kids like this going in and out of the school I take my grand kids to everyday. I'd rather get up every single day and see them offered the best instead of getting involved in kids who are lost off somewhere, at least they stand a chance. I'd wished I'd taken my own kids even further away from the schools they went to, they didn't go to the neighborhood schools but the resources just weren't there like there is in more influential districts. I highly doubt the war has anything to do with it, it may make it worse but outside of that they've just chosen to go down a path that appears relevant to them today but one day they'll be standing there wondering what the frick they chose to do to themselves.
