kids need to be told, taught these things from (at least) elementary school age.
Schools/Education is mandatory at least thru elementary grades and are to help prep them for adult life. It should be routinely impressed upon them that if they do certain things against the laws and character/moral rules of society it will greatly hinder their chances of gainful employment and success int he future.
Parents should be teaching their kids these things but being there is no mandatory parenting style, at least the schools could try to educate kids about it, instead of the dumbing down, self focused, me first stuff they do teach these days.
For current adults with legal judgements against them that are being hindered (i know of some) they are finding ways to work and get ahead. It’s doable. God helps those who seek Him and who do what they can to help get themselves on a better path.
