Michele answered Friday June 8 2007, 7:04 pm: By this question, you are asking, I take it you mean that this person, perhaps a young person, did some bad things, even though you think he/she has a loving family. Well, my thought on that would be......
Perhaps the family is fooling you. or him/her.
My experience has been that when kids do really stupid or bad things, most often their families, are not as great as they appear to be to the outside world. Oh yeah, so maybe no other member of the family, robbed a bank, or drinks and drives, or takes drugs, BUT, have they ever had anything nice to say to the family member who gets in trouble on the time? Have they always been supportive? Have they been good parents, or selfish parents? Some kids hate themselves inside, because their parents always made them feel that they weren't good enough. These kinds of kids do get in trouble. They are just fulfilling their parent's prophecy. That they are not good enough, why be good, when no one expects you to be? If any of this sounds familliar, I am not surprised, as I see it every day in my son's teenage friends. I raised my kids differently, with kindness and patience and I rarely screamed or yelled. (just the opposite of how I was raised) They are great boys, they are musicans, one's in collge, they treat their girlfriends like gold, and they don't drink or do drugs. I trust them completely. They stay out of trouble because they want to. If you have more questions on this suject, you can leave me a private question if you like.
