As a kid growing up 60's/70's in a rural area, I saw all kinds of good home / bad home environments from all kinds of economic backgrounds. There was no common denominator as to why 1 ran off the rails, and others did not. At some point young adults will choose to go with what drives them at that moment. Also their brains have not matured and coupled with raging hormones (with both sexes) is and always has been, a volatile mix.

Now: add social media where everyone acts out behind a keypad, instead of in person, in real life like it used be where consequences would be immediate before escalating ever higher. I believe young girls (pre-teen / early teens) are especially at risk
