I don't know how universal it is, but where I'm from people brag about having a rough upbringing like it's a badge of honor. It leads to a really silly culture where people feel a social pressure to exaggerate and mythologize their childhoods as a series of legendary conquests. You'll notice in OPs image that the event that they endured was spending a day playing with a sprinkler and then eating a sandwich at the neighbor's house.

Seems that way. A lot of immigrant groups tend to be of a "lower class" as well that unfortunately involve a more abusive upbringing. I was shocked at the amount of US latinos that talk about the "chancla" and being hit by their parents as a regular thing. I never saw that from anyone in my family or my friends, but the kids that had that happen to them were usually raised in the poorer parts of the cities.
