[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 520476, member: 13558"] I have pondered the same question about the wiring. I know 2 high achieving adults, one was living on the streets and the other almost having her child taken away. Both were almost 40 when they finally 'got it' and did a complete turn around. Both have good jobs, one makes easily $200,000 a year, both started college very late, one has a BA and the other and AS. I know them both extremely well, one from the day she was born. To see the lives they live now you would never believe how they were living before. The difference (and others) I see in my 2 children is that my daughter was embarrassed by the brush with the law and my son (along with his friends) saw it as bragging rights. I did not raise my son that way! My daughter rode a bus over and hour there and over an hour home for group counseling twice a week for a long time. My son thinks it is a waste of time. My daughter stopped seeing druggie friends not my son. It is puzzling why one listens and the other will not. My son's life style would scare the hell out of me! [/QUOTE]
