Question: In my knowledge alot of people from wealthy families end up doing drugs and mis-behaving because of their spoilt up-bringing, what do you think?

There might be something to your thinking. Basically, the more things you have working against you, the more problems you are likely to have. In a wealthy family, you have a lot of advantages, so it would take a lot of bad parenting like not keeping an eye on what the children are doing to result in drug use or antisocial behaviour. In poorer situations, it generally does not take much to end in these bad outcomes, because there is a lot going against the person turning out well. There is some research on biological factors and social factors to back these up in general, but there are a lot of exceptions to the rule.
