I feel very bad, I just found out some sad stuff about my students from the school counselor/psychologist here, such miserable lives, but that's how it is in the poor areas I guess, I always saw them as ignorant idiots who didn't need to be in school, now it's just different...
Well, I usually like to take people as normal average every-day people, but unfortunately this isn't the case, and it seems that more often than not people have some sort of messed-up problems. It's sad, but hopefully you can look past these problems and try to connect with that person so they can move on past these problems and hopefully don't let it consume them.
