Social exclusion creates social problems and ruins lives. People who take the wrong paths in life and have ruined their own or others’ lives often have in common that they have been part of environments recognized by exclusionary group mechanisms.

People who, at a young age, experience social exclusion often have a great desire to belong and can be characterised by a behaviour that is founded on the desire to be accepted, to belong and be seen regardless of the costs.
