I've never specifically taught my kids not to stab someone or not to run from the cops. I'll mention it tonight. I hope they don't show up here tomorrow.
Really neither one look like they're hardened criminals or guaranteed to be on the road to a life of crime. Both obviously face serious charges (especially the stabbing), but it would also be interesting to hear their respective defenses and why they felt led to do what they did.
I agree Jester, it's always interesting to hear my son's defense/excuse when he does something. Makes for a good laugh. :lol:
I don't think you can tell by how someone looks whether they are destined to a life of crime or not, but I do think most people would not resort to stabbing someone to settle a dispute.
I believe they see so much of it on television and in the movies it becomes common place to reinact it....
Kids are influenced by television and video games to some extent, I believe, but I think some just feel compelled to break the law with expectations that they won't get caught. Heck, many adults do that. With teens, it's a combo effect I think. There exists the social pressures with growing up then mix in their family environment, genetics and hormonal changes and you've got a mixture for anger management problems that can carry into adulthood. That doesn't give them justification to do these sort of things with just a slap on the wrist, but I think it does shed light on some of the problems.
OHHHHH my kid is perfection...OHHHHhhhhhhh my kid would never do anything wrong....Meanwhile. They just lost their virginity at age of 13. (Boy or Girl) by age of 15 experimenting with dewbage...by 17 Labeled as easy, drunk, know it all. Peer pressure at all time him. "How are things going at school?"....."Just fine". "Okay, I trust you. Have fun wid the reefer".. Then comes tragedy.....Mom....I'm pregnant, Mr. soinsuch is this your son? Yes. We need you to come to the county morgue to identify the body." Ma'am is this your daughter? We caught her shoplifting and giving ______ in the parking lot at Smithfield Chicken and BarBQ!"
I'm not so sure that's the cure-all in all cases. I'd suspect that there are plenty of kids that gets their butts tore up out of their collective frames, yet turn out bad. I do believe, however, that a child need appropriate corporal punishment at times by at least one parent if not both. The best friend thing...who is a best friend? Are they a close confidant that you trust more than anyone else? Are they the person you can count on no matter what? Is your best times spent with them? Many of the same traits that exists between best friends should exists in parent/child relationship, with the exception of discipline and household authority. However, I believe if a child is raised properly, they see their parents much in the same light as they would a best friend but also honor and respect their parents as disciplinarians without holding lasting grudges for it. In other words, the child realizes when they err and expect and respect the parental discipline, learn from it and move on. I think the real problem is parents who attempt to be friends with their children but treat their own children much like they do their own 'friends.' They treat their children like acquaintances and nothing more. They aren't there for them when needed, are unwilling to listen to their children, too eager to push them on their own or on others so that they can have their own time and not offer correction when it's needed.
and........we have another winner! :banghead: Teen Charged In High Speed Motorcycle Chase A Johnston County teenager is facing felony charges following a chase Friday night that reached speeds of 90mph.
