| Posted 4 months ago Unfortunately, that is not true. I'm sorry, but some people are born bad and stay that way, regardless of the amount of love and attention you give them. I know this for a fact. Vanessa Vanessa A Williams
"Kind hearts are the gardens, kind thoughts are the roots, kind words are the flowers, kind deeds are the fruits. Take care of your garden and keep out the weeds, fill it with sunshine, kind words and kind deeds" ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

| Posted 4 months ago I believe that no child is bad, just mislead. There are too many outside influences that lure them in the wrong direction. Unfortunately those experiences make who they become. They either learn from their mistakes or they don't. There are really more good kids out there than "bad" ones. The good kids you hardly notice, the others need attention so they get it. I grew up in an era where the neighbors were as much a part of your family as your parents. If you did something wrong, or needed help or a listening ear, the neighbors got you too and all without lawsuits. The guidance doesn't stop when they leave home. Speaking from experience, it goes on and on and on.......... You just can't give up on them. Jeffery Dahmer, maybe.... |

| Posted 2 months ago I think that children started going downhill when women had to go to work. It would be the perfect world if the moms who wanted to, could stay at home and raise their children. Unfortunately, with todays economy, with material items being so important, with just needing to survive due to divorce or having to have both parents working. The children have become last in line. Whereas mom used to be home when kids came home from school, so many children today are latchkey kids. They are left to their own devices til who knows what time. Parents are working late, and working weekends. Parents are tired after a long day at work. Less energy to put into parenting their children. I think that extracurricular activities are very important to keep children out of trouble. Lack of funds and lack of time keep many children from being able to do those extracurricular activities. Children are made to grow up much too soon. They are wearing provocative clothing, makeup, jewelry at very young ages. I believe all of this leads to the good or the bad of our children today. |

| Posted 2 months ago I don't agree that children are born bad, although some children have behaviorial issues from the time they are a little bitty toddler til adulthoood. Nor do I agree that it is the fault of the woman who had to work. Lack of parents time/energy and lack of extracurricular activities play a significant role. But in my opinion, the greatest culprit in attributing to making a child 'bad' is peer influence. Children tend to do what children will do and no amount of home training is going to stop that. I know that as a child, I tried to do things out of curiosity, things that I knew my parents would be against, things I knew my parents wouldn't/couldn't find out about, etc. Most kids of these day will do so too. Children are going to do what they can get away with. Granted, some children simply do not care about the consequences of their actions and have to learn the hard way, spending time in juvy detention, jail and/or prison. Some kids make mistakes and learn from them, some kids never learn. For the most part, if the parent or care-giver raises a child in the way they ought to go: with love, understanding, respect and faith or spiritual guidance, the apple won't fall far from the tree. I, too, grew up in an era where the neighbors were as much a part of your family as your parents. As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. We need to bring back this era. |

| Posted 2 months ago I do believe anyone can be born bad or good. Psychopaths are bad; there is something in their brains that causes abnormal reactions. They feel no remorse for their actions. Young children can be psychopaths. However, I believe parenting, especially during the early years, will determine how a child will behave later in life. Parenting is not the only factor. If many of these factors are present in the home: Lack of education, a job, a home or medical care puts stressors on the family. A serious illness of the child or parent, extreme poverty, abandonment by the natural parent(s) or an abusive home life can cause irreparable damage to a child. A child who is nurtured and loved from birth will have a better outcome than one who is not nurtured or loved. Certainly, there are exceptions to the norm, but the formative years are an important period in which parents or role models teach morals and values for the child.
