Right, "should I do drugs?" is not a typical choice for a 9 year old to have to make, they should be protected from that. I have heard stories of particularly shitty parents giving drugs to their own young children.

OP is asking about wrong/bad/poor choices etc, the last sentence of their post specifically says it's not about situations that are inflicted upon them.
To be fair, OP is asking about bad/poor/wrong decisions, the last sentence of their post specifically says it's not about situations that are inflicted upon them. No one gets to choose where they are born.
I did realise that it's a specific situation but as the original post didn't have more context, I didn't see why I shouldn't be allowed to suggest some.
If OP wants to expand on the situation, they're welcome to.
I mean, if my friends knew I was a huge fan of the band, were going and weren't like, "tickets are £50, do you want one?" It would sting.
I'm actually really looking forward to lab grown meat becoming an established industry. Not just for the benefits to the environment and animal welfare but because you could feasibly grow the finest lobster meat, fois gras, wagyu steaks etc etc on industrial scales which would lead to much lower prices.
You could even get in to really exotic meats like mammoth, platypus and giraffe or whatever else.
Before we move over to heat pumps and electric heating, a lot of work needs to be done on insulating homes.
A heat pump is not more efficient if you have to run it 24/7 to try keeping up with heat loss from single glazed windows and drafts from knackered doors etc.
I mean if democracy is writing an X in to a box once every five years, then yes.
Personally I think democracy should be about more than that, but as one person alone it's tough to know what to do about it.
I live near a village called St John's Town of Dalry and no one says sinjin nor have I heard anyone's name referred to that way.
A quick Google shows that they charged over thirties in the UK double for a premium account.
Devils advocate says that is because older people are more like to have money (people are probably getting a bit more desperate at that age too).
It looks like the policy is revoked tho.
I dk where you Americans are getting the "sure" part from, it's much more like "she-er" or if your more northern it'd be a bit more like "sher".
Despite declining social mobility, mke_geek makes a fair point, being born poor isn't absolutely guaranteed to mean that you won't be able to have a meaningful or fullfilling life. I'm sure that many people who are born in remote villages with a subsistence lifestyle, that we would view as living in poverty, are happier than many people who are born in "first world" countries.
Anyway, OP is asking about choices, not situations that are inflicted upon them.
