There are a lot of people who want to blame their current problems on their past, and use it as a crutch. Now and then it's legit and understandable, but other times they feel they can do whatever the hell they want and when someone questions it, they just blame it on their past. They could have worked hard and studied and become educated if they wanted, doesn't matter about their past. They still got to go to school and hear the same words the teachers told the kids that chose to work hard and succeed.
