i imagine this post will cause a bit of a debate but whats your views ?

there is a child down here and i detest him ! ,,, he comes from a lovely family but omg he is a little shit !
he is about 8 years old ,,,, he asked my son to steal a lighter that was next to my candles so they could go start a fire , he stands outside local shop asking big issue man for cigarette and inside shop asks for money !
he threw a bottle at me ( well i hope he aimed for me ) it hit my pram
you see him running out infront of cars/buses generally being a mouthy wee shite !

i am sure he wasnt brought up like this so in answer to my own question are some kids just born bad ,,,, im thinking its possible


any thoughts of your own ?

Im not convinced they are, its not always parental upbringing, peer pressure plays a huge part too but it doesnt make a kid inherently bad

I think in very rare cases they can be born evil, as in murderes and stuff but the stuff you've mentioned sound very much like attention seeking to me

said child is very much the leader of the pack so to speak x x

god i hate kids like that. saldy our town is full of them! i have to kick kids off our our stairs to get to our house.. n i get in reply. yea? welli live over there (they point to the next lot of houses) n im like well i flippinm live her so pee off! xx

Over the years I've changed my mind on the nature v nurture one several times.

I believe that people can be born bad!
