I couldn't help but notice a lot of people mentioning adoption. And oh yes some adoptive parents/foster parents can be totally awesome and all, but I've noticed here a lot of the people put through that system don't turn out too well. Be it due to the identity crisis, to being resentful of being juggled through a dozen foster families, to just being pissed off at how the government departments handle things.

I'm not saying it's all of them BUT it was my ex-sister (a kleptomaniac who could be quite insincere and get people onside), this girl I knew (just a tad free with the... 'favours'), half the druggies I knew (yeah a good percentage of them weren't with their real parents), or even with one of my old mates who had a darker side at times concerning his past who in the end decided to join a gang that wanted him for his strength. A high percentage of them are quite ****ed up, moreso than any other demographic I know.

A lot of them are also abused or treated almost like slaves by their adoptive parents, I've seen that a few times too. I know a lot of good people who were adopted, but then I know even more bad sorts. Is it right for me to group most of these guys as I am? Hell no. But I do it from my experiences with most of them.
