Children cannot be good or bad for no reason. Most people think that kids are naturally bad, like its inherited but I don’t think that’s logical. some think that kids are the reflection of how their parents raised them. In my opinion, I think that kids act the way their parents raised them to act.

  People describe bad behavior in many different ways. Some believe that having bad behavior means being obnoxious and loud. Some believe it’s the children that are complicated and get in trouble at school. “ Many people believed that I was a bad kid as a child because I was always behind in class, I always wanted attention. But I don’t think that means that i was a “bad” kid.” Mona Malti stated.

  Although I believe that people cannot inherit behaviors through genetics there have been many studies that prove me wrong.  For example, family studies have led to the discovery that anti-social behavior is passed down through genetic inheritance. And if anti-social genes can be passed down through inheritance, so can the genes that cause difficult/complicated behavior.

   “You cannot inherit bad behavior, if your parents discipline you and teach you right from wrong, you won’t have bad behavior. But if your parents do not teach you right from wrong and discipline you, you will have a lack of judgment and have bad behavior.” Stated Rodaina Abbas.

  People are taught by their parents right from wrong as they progress from children into adults. The people that raise us set an example of what a good person does and what a bad person does. To me, having good behavior and being a good person is someone that doesn’t act loud and obnoxious and acts like a normal human being. “I think that children are a reflection of their parents and the behaviors that they were taught were right. The definition of “bad parent” and “bad children” is different to everyone, but generally, when I hear those words I think of parents and children who are disrespectful towards other people and even each other constantly no matter the severity.” Mona Farhat stated.

In summary, I think that children are a reflection of what they are taught. I don’t think that we inherit bad behavior and if we do we should be taught that it is bad. Mona Farhat, Mona Malti, and Rodaina Abbas are all people I interviewed that agree with me.
