I was smart enough at 15 to BEG to get out of an LA elite private school.
The most unkempt, Ill-behaved kids were some of the wealthiest, with the busiest executive parents. I loved that the kids there were so smart. The humor was the best. But some of them were not living in the real world. Shopping was boring for those kids; they found it more fun to shoplift - even if you could afford what you were stealing. And trick or treating in Bel Air is not as fun as it sounds! Climbing 20 minutes uphill between each house for the same dang snickers you got in a normal neighborhood was not effective at all!
