Actually some folks out of close-knit communities can cope very
well outside them--off, hand, I'd say there are about three basic
types:  The ones that marry a MOTAS from the neighborhood,
buy a place next to their parents,
and work at pretty much the things their parents did.  The ones
that feel they have to try every "sin" in the book (the so-called
black sheep), either because they were always expected to be saints
(Ministers' kids, for example) or because they were never expected to
be any good anyhow, so end up with wild, flakey, and dissolute lives
(and are a LOT of fun..:-)...And a few that, being secure about where
they come from, turn out to be fascinating, integrated individuals...
