The Aboriginal people lost their culture, their language, their sense of which they are, and their parenting skills. All of this leads to a lack of coping skills, which intern leads to substance abuse, physical abuse, and poverty, which is handed down, from one generation to the next. So generation after generation, Aboriginal children live in poverty, surrounding by violence, surrounding by substance abuse, and the lack of education or help to pull themselves out of the society they live in. This leads young children and adolescents into the gang life. The one place in the world where they feel a sense of belonging and the one place they seem to have some power and control over their destiny.
It was a selfish and racist act by some rebellious Australian teenagers, who happened to be Alex’s friends. These major conflicts were a reflection on the society.

The government now recognizes that the consequences of the Residential Schools were completely wrong and that this has had a lasting and damaging impact on Aboriginal culture, heritage and language. While some former students have spoken positively about their experiences at residential schools, these stories are far overshadowed by tragic accounts of the emotional, physical, sexual abuse, neglect of helpless children, and their separation from their families and communities. Unfortunately, many former students had died before hearing the much needed apology that would hardly compensate for the childhood that they lost. The residential schools have left most Aboriginal people resenting our culture and government. For good reason, most former students are left trying to cope with their emotional scares.
