Who doesn't want to be cool? Sometimes it's forever, sometimes it's a phase. But you mentioned a very important and overlooked aspect Op: school. Schools do not teach the necessary learning for children to grow into functional adults. I wish more Black people would insist on schooling their own children, or work to build a school house. The curriculum right now is so subpar that it literally ruins any interest in Academics for most kids, including math, reading/writing, science, and history (they aren't even learning the history of their own ancestors or how the world behaved before the wyte world powers came to be) .
Our children aren't learning the languages that will allow them to communicate with their people across the pond. They aren't learning how to do for self by not being depend on the government. They don't have proper survival skills. Why? They are being taught by wytepepo who don't care, and raised by black people who don't realize these things are important. I swear I wish I was taught certain things while I was younger because now I find them fascinating and helpful.
Neighborhood does in a way reflect the knowledge of the people. There are too many Black areas that don't promote positive acts or have a positive atmosphere. Some children strive for better regardless of their childhood. Those kids are like ambitious old souls. The kids you mentioned sounded highly impressionable to begin with. Getting good grades, mean you're doing what the teacher wants you to do. Not that you should rebel, but asking questions are good, especially when the curriculum does not give a full complete picture.
No father? Might matter or effect some, might not or not effect others. Results seriously do vary lol. Some kids are born without one, some just leave, some are pushed away by mom. It isn't one size fits all. A better idea would be to promote monogamy from a young age, even as a single parent, because at least it might clean up some of the baby daddy baby momma problems we complain about all the time.
