[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s both. It’s nature and nurture. You’re born with a personality and your parents help shape it. Kids who are mean were born with a personality that was susceptible to it, and their parents did something that exacerbated it. Good kids can do mean things too, occasionally, but the truly shitty kids I know have parents who are not good at parenting. They are not mean, necessarily, and not negligent, but they don’t have good parenting instincts. They spoil, they cave, they think their children deserve special treatment, etc. [/quote]
