Interviewed 18 students from six middle schools to determine causes of resiliency in students. Found no significant differences in responses by race or gender, or by urban, rural, or suburban settings. Found that significant relationships with adults and positive use of time contribute to academic success of students from high-risk circumstances. (LBT)
