and i aced exams and classes and avoided drugs/gangs/vices. i played video games and was generally a good kid. my parents never looked at my report cards and didn't take me to any resume-building activities. they both worked and i saw them only after 6:00 pm throughout elementary and high school. never used a tutor. went to a good public school and HYS law school.

ime the main factor in my development was my personality and intelligence. i was not inclined to do what my peers did and did not care about my social status. so i was fine being a nerd and doing my own thing.

as a result, i'm skeptical of lib emphasis on parenting and income and yada yada re: inequality. does it have some merit? maybe, at extremes. but for the most part i think encouraging introverted personalities and lack of concern with social status is going to be more productive for developing academic success.

same. did not attend hys, but professionally and financially, can compete head to head with any.

that being said, emotionally, i find it harder to connect with people and i've been accused of (and know it to be true to a certain extent) that i lack empathy for those who don't do well.

i grew up extremely self-aware and well-behaved, but with horribly controlling parents. my father had a vicious temper; there was tons of yelling; definitely borderline personality disorder; had drinking and gambling problems; was mean to kids and my mother. my mother was extremely catholic, instilled a deep sense of shame and guilt, and constantly spied on her kids -- there was no sense of freedom from interference. it's not a great recipe for a psychologically healthy upbringing.

if you grew up in a single parent household in the inner city ... you'd be the unique fractal snowflake you purport to be. But, it seems like you were a typical latchkey kid who was fortunate enough to have both parents around. A stable home-life can be prole, but it seems like you were and are culturally middle class.

im not even OP, just confirming that white proles (i assume this guy is white b/c we generally dont use prole to describe minorities) are extremely rare at HYS law, much rarer than i thought theyd be. that genuine ghetto dwellers would be even rarer is irrelevant. i'm also contradicting OP to the extent that he's acting like this case is at all normal and that if you just slide n let do your kid will prob fall ass backward into HYS or whatever

it really depends on if the parents are legit prole or not, I'd say no based on what you just said about proles being extremely rare at HYS. Growing up with two working parents in it of it self is not prole however.

My interpretation of the OP is that it's possible, not normal. You don't get into HYS without hardcore striving at some point in your life. He did what was necessary and it worked out... sort of. The fact that he'll likely be a lawyer for the rest of his life is enough punishment for excelling in life.

I really do like hearing these stories... particularly the ones that aren't AA dependent.

Real proles (like, MC or LMC with uneducated parents) are rare but pretty MC/UMC normal people with educated parents who congratulated them on their grades but didn't tiger mom them are not that rare at least at H law. HUG is a different story because there's so much more soft factor BS in the admission game.

Was in the process of editing/extending my poast before I saw yours.

Anyway, are you fucking retarded? It's pretty self-evident. Having two parents is better because each parent has to do half the amount of work to raise kids while providing them with double the amount of resources. Also, you don't have to worry about strangers coming through the house to fuck mom/dad and being alone because your one parent had to do an extra shift or whatever to keep the heat on.

How the fuck did you get into HYS?

"animal-like desire for social status and popularity among peers is what does a lot of teens in."

It's also what motivates a lot of people to achieve status. I'd say that a lot of finance bros are motivated by something similar. It makes them douchebags but it doesn't make them meth addicts or gangbangers.

I'm guessing that the OP was at least middle class, by income standards if not by cultural standards as well.

Also, some of the most successful and hard working kids I know were first-gen college graduates born to two loving, hard-working blue collar parents who threw all their resources at their smart kid to enable him or her to succeed, even if they didn't expect the kid to do anything but go to the flagship state school.

WASPs are cheap fuckers, old people are cheap fuckers, people who have had their wealth for generations know how to take care of it.

I can see not eating out and not going on vacation but I seriously doubt the coupon clipping (except for olds) and the recycling for money

Yeah the recycling for money is the only odd duck in that group.

Olds love the shit out of their coupons and young people who have frugal habits just look for deals in different places, like buying designer clothes via sample sales or secondhand through websites like Poshmark, or milk the heck out of credit card signup bonuses like Chase Sapphire to pay for flights with points.

So you were gifted with a very unique set of internal circumstances that does not apply to the vast majority of teens, especially those in your situation.

You also seemed to grow up in a two-parent household. Many "proles" pass on hard-work tendencies to their kids. You can learn work ethic and respect for authority from two blue-collar parents who stayed together and stayed employed. You didn't grow up the son of a single pothead mom and her revolving door of johns. Your parents probably didn't encourage you to be popular or place any other sorts of expectations on you - they let you be you.

You also probably had resources at your school to help gifted kids navigate college applications, and it probably wasn't weird for kids to go to college.

I'm guessing you grew up more middle class than legit prole, too.

I had a very very similar situation. My parents often did tell me to study though and encouraged me to do ECs but there was no pressure or expectation that I needed to go to anything better than local state u.

libs can't accept that personal success in America is 100% a result of personal effort and ambition (unless we're talking about extremes, like you're literally retarded).

Unsuccessful people are/were lazy and deserve their lot in life.

Lib emphasis is on income and con emphasis is on parenting.

Parenting (more accurately, lack thereof) has a YUGE negative impact on blacks. The vast majority of them are raised by single moms who have no idea what they're doing. This is much worse than your parents, who were basically just laissez faire about things. If you were raised by your mom and she was smoking crack and fucking random dudes every time you came home, you would not have wound up successful

Libs discount all of this and claim that poverty is what keeps inner city blacks down. They are incorrect. Culture is very important.

Everyone should read Unequal Childhoods by Annette Lareau. It pretty much lays out exactly how class (both economic and cultural) determines where children end up
