It seems to be normalized that when things get tough the kids just stop going and become dropouts.

There is a significant amount of violence but it seems to be on the streets and gang-related than the "lone wolf shoots as many as possible then kills himself when the cops show up" kind.

I know at my kid's school (middle school) the place is locked up one school starts.
