[QUOTE="TooTall, post: 781075, member: 3993"] From my experiences, trials and travels; there is a set of Americans that dislike anyone who is better than them that started out at the same place. Because if your better at sports than me, smarter than me or richer than me; you worked harder and I see myself as lazy. We had an assistant principle who followed my class from middle school through high school and over his 30 years of rural Georgia education, he said the most dangerous time for male kids is the 6th & 7th grade years. Had(s) nothing to do with hormones, but peer pressure. Straight A kids start failing. Solid B & C kids dropping out. It was (is) because those who were "smart" (hard workers) were seen as effeminate by the older kids they were hanging out with who did not reach their full potential as students. Same can be said for those who find religion or become clean, the group of people they leave behind resent them and make fun of them behind their back. We all have different experiences, trials and travels, maybe you have seen otherwise, this is just what I've encountered. [/QUOTE]
