Looking back at all of the bad kids I grew up with.
I can trace their behavior back to lousy parenting. For all of the kids that ended up criminals, abusers, addicts, and moochers. I can remember at least one parent that was, too busy, too addicted, too abusive, too adulterous, too enabling, too absent, or too uncaring to have any kids.
I saw this too in some of my teenagers’ friends who were having a lot of problems. However, in some cases it’s nice kids hanging out with problem kids and they begin having trouble as a result of bad influence
