This proved true for Sharon Atuai, a young lass from Goilala, Central Province.
Sharon is a second year student at the University of Papua New Guinea, and will be doing her third year in April - Bachelor in Economics.
Growing up in Laloki, a few kilometres outside Port Moresby along the Hiritano Highway, she struggled with the influence of settlement peer pressure and overcoming the psychological impact of divorced parents at a young age.
Her parents separated in 2004 when she was in grade two, leaving her to grow up with her mother.
