Location is a very heavy thing that will screw over kids as well. If they have access to martial arts, a gymnasium, tracks for bikes, a good shooting range, studios to paint in, ect, a good community that cares about the kids and try to involve themselves, example a good boxer, may be old or young, but would giv boxing lessons. Stuff to keep kids busy makes them stay away from the boredom which usually leads to drugs and mischief. It's sad to say but it's true, personal experience is my proof, never mind listening to others that got the same stick.
Kids need a hobby, a good hobby they like, actually like, and want to get better at it. Those are the kids who are go getters... Yet they just need a decent environment.
If that's not accessible because you live rural, then make them appreciate nature. Teach them how to survive in the woods, go hiking, camping, hunting, if you have money get an ATV.
Boredom is always the killer. And kids get bored fast.
