Maybe this explains why many grew up too fast, being more mature, having an inferiority complex because of how many times they have been told they can't have that.

I can relate and I didn't have it nearly as bad as some in terms of national issues. Though, my family was "unique" in many ways.

I have found that many of those who have become successful, have come from poor backgrounds. However, the vast majority of people stay poor, struggling their whole lives.
