At least my daddy let me read books. When he wasn't beating me with them. |

Never done drugs and I would say ny childhood was "normal" if there are any. Does that support your theory? Oh, wait it does.
This was not my big surprise. |

| I'd say my upbringing was pretty good and I don't do drugs and barely drink. However, my sister was a pothead when I was little and my dad used to be a huge pothead back when he was younger. So I dunno, I think most people try drugs, but I think the ones who do them habitually have some sort of problem. |

| I was raised pretty strict throughout my youth so once I got to college I basically just threw myself right into the madness and never looked back! |

No, I wouldn't say a bad childhood causes drug abuse. However, i'd say it is likely that a "bad" childhood increases the chances of one exercising "bad" habits in one's adult life like drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, violence, and/or other mental disorders. Whichever best reflects either what made one's childhood "bad" or what helped one cope with it. Not that one is guaranteed to cause the other, though. |
Agreed. I've had a pretty messed up childhood, but I don't do (illegal)drugs except for experimentation. Sure I've got my problems, but drugs isn't one of them. I think it's just that people who internalize their emotions (like men are socially conditioned to) are more prone to substance abuse, but might just as well 'let it out' by a number of other different means. So yeah, it's definately a factor, but it's not the most important one by a long shot. I think it just has more to do with having a liberal personality, or the need to rebel. |
