You also left out the possibility that the student is under an IMMENSE amount of pressure to succeed from family. I've actually saw that happen a couple of times back in college (my university was good, but not in a good area,) where the pressure some students faced because they were the first one to go to college/etc. At a young age something like this could have a huge impact on how ones family views them.
