Why some children turn out to be bad person?

I am giving a thought about this. Why some children raised by a happy family turn out to be a criminal and why some children raised by the same couple turn out to be good and making great deeds to the community. What are the contributing factors to this issue?

well, for me, the first factor that contribute to the child's personality and well-being is the father and mother or who ever is raising the kid. If the person raising the kid is a well balance person that knows how to explain why several things are prohibited then the kid MIGHT absorbs it as what he/she is explained of. As well as, the person raising the kid should let the kid grow up accordingly upon his/her age. if the kid is still a toddler, let him/her discover the phase of holding, throwing, etc according on his/her own. Let him play and enjoy at the same time let him/her have sense of responsibility with his action. If she/he has to be punished, do so, in a proper manner. 2nd aspect is environment the place where the kid interacts with (neighbors, schoolmate, churchmate,etc). from this places,kids learn things they are not taught inside the house. and last aspect, is the personal well being of the child. we are unique in our own ways, whether its an adult or children. Some things are never taught but still can be done by the child. It's their natural instinct. What the Kid do in the future is a decision done and done by himself alone. So , as early you can teach the child, I recommend to explain and communicate well with him/her.

Hello madie - I hope I can answer from my bare knowledge. Even if raised by the same couple, children's situations and stories and subjective experience are different. What they meet the moment they start going to school might influence them. Also, it depends on what the parents were up to at particular critical points in the child's development. If with child 1 the mother was very healthy and had a lot of time to dedicate to the child during his early years,whilst if with the second child she had some post natal depression, than things will be different!

When a mother has baby that baby also has a father. The baby might get anything that the parents have for example anger. Think of a group of twenty children aged 3. Some will come from good backgrounds and others will come from bad backgrounds. I am a primary school teacher and in most year groups there are always a few problem children. I taught a class of 5 to 6 year olds and later in my career the head teacher of that school came to work at the school I was teaching at. I asked her what happened to these children. Now they are teenagers I can imagine how terrible the two boys and the girl might be. One parent told me she hated her little boy. He didn't feel wanted so he misbehaved. He delighted me with his puppet shows. I try to give praise to all the children I teach. The trick is to catch them being good. For example: Child X has a mother that is a shop assistant and a father that is a banking assistant. He lives in a house with a garden in a nice part of town. He gets on well at school. He grows up to be a good man. Child Y has a mother that is a drunk and a father that is often in jail. He lives in a flat. He gets on poorly at school. He gets in much trouble as a teenager and he becomes a bad person. Child Z has a mother that is a dentist and a father that is a teacher. He lives in a large house with a swimming pool in the countryside. He likes it at school and he is really successful in his exams. He grows up to be a good person. So child Y grew up in a challenging situation. He has a poor example from both his parents. Children X and Z did much better because they came from good backgrounds.
