Shit buddy. I know that sinking feeling. I'll tell you that the 18-25 year old cohort takes a massive dip into drugs and alcohol. Most of the peeps make it through. Some don't. In some places, a lot of people don't. And it's surprising how indifferent to wealth or skin color or zip code drugs and addiction can be.

This is one of things where I sympathize with what you're saying deeply but don't have anything more to say than that. I can appeal to Stoicism and say that it's all out of your hands anyway, but that's typically not a comforting thing to hear. But it's good that that sort of shit makes you feel uneasy. I think it means you're in tune with your compass. A lot of people don't have that.
