Many times it's because the child is not being listened to. They feel they are not heard and then finally rebel...Most of children's lives they are told "How to feel, to think, or what not to"...Lots of shouldn'ts.....If more adults would ask the child the "Why's" and then explore that, instead of the "Don't"...There would be less rebellion in my opinion, and more free thinkers that would contribute to society...
Im curious how many of the people that have responded so far do in fact HAVE children?
At any rate, the majority of the time how a child "tunrs out" is a direct reflection of the way he or she was raised. Please note I said majority because there are always exceptions to the rule.
Great question, Jedi Priestess. I suppose I'm being slightly hypocritcal then since I am not one (a parent) myself. However, I do get to voice an opinion, I believe, since I'm at the opposite side of the spectrum, and feel that when most people say they think I'm pretty cool cat, that I divert the accolades to my parents.
I don reely think parents are fault to all this. Yo, I lived with my mom and she wuz the only one who payed for me and my sisters. We lived in bad houses aqnd all that. Come on money is a problem these days. They get the bad influence from school and from the streetz. But i try not to become a bum or somethin like that, i have fututre.

The more you question it, the less you will understand.
People don't really change either, or at least not any more after 30, Soleran.
Jacopex, if your mother hadn't done all that she has done thus far, which is I'm gathering a lot from your circumstances, then she would have been the one to blame. However, the fact is she has done a lot for you and your siblings, despite the poor surroundings and negative influences.
Kudos to you for believing that you have a future. Stick with your goals, my man.
LOL I am 30 haha people change all the time it was a joke. People change all the time. Values change as children develop and their enviroment has more to do with this the older they get and able to form their own opinions and views!~
