Its true, Ok just because your parents are unemployed does not mean you're going to be a tearaway. I was brought up as 1 of 6 kids by a single mother who worked before minimum wage for 80p an hour.

Although our Mum would come home exhausted and when we would worry for her she would tell us she does it for us and wants us to thank her by succeeding and looking after her one day.

Thankfully we all have and we've brought her a nice bungalow in a very nice area. Its parents that keep kids as kids, Me and my siblings were young in the early 80''s to the mid 90's when glue sniffing, heroin etc was rife and we lived on the Bromford in Birmingham I think the biggest council estate in Europe.

We could of gone and done all those type of things at 11 or 12 but we didn't. Our mom gave us a sense of pride and we were proud of her and we were all eager for the day we could help her.
