<p>Well, our suburban HS is not FULL of “hard drugs.” I hear there are drugs available, but what the HS is full of is hard-working, sports-playing, volunteering, high-achieving kids. </p>
<p>I would venture a guess that it’s easier to be any of the above in a well-to-do suburban setting, and more difficult to be any of the above in a poor urban setting.</p>
<p>Edit: I would say poor rural setting, but I just can’t see as many problems there. Lack of access to some amenities, but certainly no gangs & the accompanying violence.</p>
