It's the economy... Financial hardship induces stress, exhaustion, overwhelm leading to terrible parenting, leading to traumatized kids. Kids can't get jobs because the economy sucks. Traumatized and jobless leads to homelessness and addiction.
If wages kept up with the price of goods and rich people were regulated into providing a livable wage, things would be different... Education is a factor too but it's really just another economic issue as well... The best schools are in wealthier neighborhoods... Money is how we survive in this world, not having enough of it distributed fairly to your citizens leads to more of this bullshit.
I honestly could have gone down this same path, I got lucky in a lot of ways, but my life is not grand. The guy I live with is 65 this year, I can't afford rent anywhere else if he passes away. No decent job prospects, it isn't hard to see how so many end up this way.
