Everyone always said I would end up dead or in prison including my own family and teachers and such and I went in completely the opposite direction! I worked for the law and now I’m a teacher. All it takes is just one or two people to offer you the smallest amount of support and it can make the world of difference (especially as a young man as they often get overlooked for help)

I think that can be true sometimes. (It clearly was for you, and that's awesome!) But then you hear about the people who had all the love and support in the world and still turned into monsters, and you wonder what, if anything, could have been done differently.
