I don't know if you've noticed, considering where you work I would hope you have, but a lot fo kids ignore the better examples of society and latch onto the negatives that are placed in front of them in much much higher volume.
I know enough people that came from good families and had solid support systems at home that are spending a long time in prison because they decided to follow the wrong example. Be it because it was cool in their mind, some form of greed, or just basic stupidity, negative examples are far better promoted than the positive ones in American society.
It is up to those who get idolized to help. I know they can't be the final solution and I know not all of the blame rests of them, but they are still a part of the problem and allow the cycle to propagate year after year and generation after generation.
