Why do most HS outcasts become druggies and losers? You'd think they'd have a chip on their shoulders and try harder to succeed

people don't drop out bc they're stupid, they drop out because they're lazy
What happens during your youth sets the path for the rest of your life. It's almost impossible to become successful later in life.
why should I have to put effort into my life? i never had to before magically turning 18
It's the result of them being socially isolated and wanting to fit in with the cool kids in high school.
Then when they get to college, drugs and alcohol are more available to them so they try to make up for lost time by engaging in all the shit that their peers got out of their systems years ago.

Drugs are the best way to block out the world.
Not all druggies are bad people, just people who wanted to escape their problems.

Because 1) drugs are good for numbing the pain 2) some drugs (read: hallucinogens) appeal strongly to edgy kids who feel that their line of thinking doesn't fit with the mainstream 3) they do drugs in an attempt to try and fit in.
Pretty much that. Enjoy.

is correct. Edgy kids who questioned authority at school will probably question drug laws too.

Because the truth is that they were outcasts because they were losers then. And they're still losers today.
