You don't know everyone's full story, so don't make judgments until you do. Everyone makes mistakes, and sometimes the people we see as the bad guys are the real victims. A lot of us have it so easy, that we don't realize how hard it can be for others, and how limited their choices are in life. Think before you speak.
I'm a dropout, and because of that people seem to think you're dumb or some shit like that. Thanks for recognizing we're not all weed smoking boozers that don't do shit with our lives.
