In my opinion, I think it has to do with their up bringing. If they were raised to have everything handed to them it's easy for them to give up when faced with adversity. I wasn't raised in a home of wealth, but I certainly saw kids growing up who did and could see their attitude towards things were certainly different than my own.
If you've never had to struggle, how do you know how to handle it when you are struggling?
- hackuser 11y agoIt's interesting that people are careful with stereotypes and analysis of poor kids, but have no problem using them for wealthy kids. Kids born into wealth, at least moderate wealth, are much more likely to be successful than kids born into poverty, so it seems they figure out that struggle thing eventually.
- josh_carterPDX 11y agoI don't disagree with that, nor was it my point. I just think that people that know what struggle looks like are more inclined to know how to handle it when it occurs.
