When I was 6 there was a kid in my class named Cory. For whatever reason he took a liking to bullying me. His antics escalated fast. Went from just making fun of me, which honestly i didn't pick up on because I wasn't paying attention to him (like I inadvertently ignored his existence). The final bit was him pushing me in front of a moving car. The driver had good breaks and was a few inches from hitting me. He pulled his car over, got out the check on me and dragged us both in the school and told the principal what happened. The kid had no remorse and his dad (who was like a foot shorter than my mother) tried to pick a fight with her because his son was expelled. Apple didn't fall far

story 11 sounds like this kid watches WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much YT "prank" channels and has started to emulate it

[@mirzam.4976]

Yea, he will become like that kid that entered people houses.

[@Lightfyre281]

My ex was an only child, his parents wanted multiple kids but only got one, so he was very spoiled. His parents were really nice people, but they were too nice. They never put their foot down or said no to their son, so he grew up to be a manipulative narcissist. He was so used to getting what he wanted that he didn't take "no" for answer, he'd just bully and manipulate me until I gave in to his demands. I eventually realized he was a monster and cut contact with him. Haven't talked to him or his parents in many years, but I hope his parents eventually realize what a POS he is and make him get some therapy.

[@shadowmaster335]

if he is a master manipulator, then i seriously doubt it, unless he ends up murdering someone in cold blood, or something equally as messed up

I remember catching my aunt saying to my grandmother her mother "if something happens don't call me because I'm not going to come and help you" And maybe a few months later I was visiting Grandma and we were shooting the breeze and we got onto the subject of the aforementioned aunt. She told me "I don't know what I did for her to turn out the way she did" and all I could do was shrug

[@endersdragon34]

I am autistic and have worked with others with autism in the past (still technically do but in a much different context). I remember sometimes having to tell parents that no, your kid isn't just hungry, and no it isn't just his autism. Sometimes autistic kids can misbehave just like all kids and if you keep letting him get away with it he's going to keep doing it. Sometimes it is the autism, sometimes its not, you need to know the difference because if I can tell you can too.

[@iononcantomascrivo]

Agreed. There was a lady I used to know, who I will call sally. She had two children. One of them was a daughter, who was seven years older from her first marriage, we'll call her Hannah. The one from her second marriage, a son we’ll call Matt. As soon as that was born, Hannah ended up becoming a background figure in the family. She only ever ranked on Sally's radar When Sally wanted a break from Matt. Yep. Sally parentified her own daughter because Matt was a high-energy, poorly behaved, ill-mannered demon spawn. This kid was the product of non-existent to inconsistent discipline, he had no respect for boundaries, zero regard for the word no being a complete sentence as well as a totally valid response and nothing resembling a sense of accountability. In other words, Matt was quickly growing up to be just like his own mother. Buy age four, he was already a holy terror. By the time he was a pre-teen, he was an absolute nightmare. By the time he reached his teen years, he believed he was bulletproof and was a monster. Where was Sally and all of this? Making excuses for him, denying there was a problem, blaming others, conniving, lying, justifying everything, rationalizing and putting her blinders on that her son was quickly turning into a butthole adult. I warned her for years, that she was doing her son a great disservice by not establishing clear boundaries or showing him that there are consequences to his actions. She was a fan of gentle parenting to the point that it was a hands-off approach and only ever got involved when there was a problem. Naturally, because I'm male, single and child-free by choice, she disqualified everything I had to say by saying I “didn't know” what I was talking about. I mean, I didn't know common sense escapes people who don't have children, but that was Sally's logic. Well, her inaction to address her son's escalating horrible behavior finally come back to slap her in the face. Literally. Apparently he had been suspended from school and Matt, being a good head taller than her, and about as muscular as a grown adult, slapped her to the floor and left the house after she grounded him. She called me up flipping out and I couldn't help but chuckle at her theatrics. She was always doing things to get my or someone else's attention. She couldn't believe that I would laugh at her. Then she insulted me and I got angry. I told her that she did it to herself by not raising him right and to have fun with the monster she had created. I hung up on her. After a few abusive private messages and text messages, she took to social media to try to get sympathy from everyone by pulling the single mom card (she wasn't single and had a husband who worked on the road to provide for her unemployed behind as well as their son and his stepdaughter), while ranting unintelligibly about no one knew “how hard” it was being a mom except for other mothers and that she was getting ready to cut ties with some “child haters.” Because Sally's Karen tendencies and her son's absolutely nightmarish behavior preceded both of them, she did not get near the sympathetic reaction she was looking for. She was clobbered in the comments section and even her own mother-in-law chimed in sharing the spare the rod, spoil the child Bible verse. The status suspiciously disappeared only to be replaced by another one where Sally claimed she'd be leaving social media for a while because it was “too toxic.” Unsurprisingly, she didn't get the sympathetic reaction she was looking for and chose to stay on. I mean, where else is a narcissist with an extremely fragile Texas-sized ego going to get an endless supply of attention? I cut contact with Sally a decade ago and was able to finally wake up a mutual friend to what a parasitic toxic waste of space she is. He told me, that right before he ended their friendship which was right before last Christmas, unsurprisingly, that Matt is now an overgrown man-child, with no respect, no dignity, no job, a huge inflated ego and a sense of self who expects the entire world to bend over backwards for him and cater to his every whim. In other words, he grew up to be just like his mother.

I have substance abuse issues. I'd like to point out that substance abuse can make you look like a sociopath. A lot of the time it looks like conduct disorder before they go into drugs/alcohol.

[@kavinaderrow3269]

19: Same, but my brother is 16. Since my mom doesn't have a backbone, she refuses to go through with any punishment. My dad is in a care facility for veterans with disabilities/dementia, and is in the latter half of the disease, so he doesn't understand that my brother is an awful person. He's stolen thousands of dollars, lied, and manipulated.

[@proudatheist2042]

I am profoundly sorry that you, a d your family, are going through all of this. Do you have a support system to lean on? Does your father have legal protection to keep his assets safe from your stealing brother?

[@alyssamorgan747]

It's best, when the kid is young, to instill proper behavior and manners through strict discipline. You'd be surprised by how well it works.

[@RenTheWren]

It's VERY important to define strict discipline here. Parenting is a tightrope between allowing your kid to experiment with independent decision making, and making sure they know right from wrong. Strict discipline tends to lean too much to one side and leads to the child feeling unsafe with one's parents and resenting them. Age appropriate routines? Yes. A clear framework of unacceptable behaviour and consequences? Yes. Breaking the child's trust or privacy, or refusing to distinguish between honest and wilful mistakes? Absolutely not. The amount of times abusers have used the word discipline to justify their abuse is shockingly vast. The matter is complicated and the meaning of individual words can be stretched immensely.

[@desensitizedanalyser5624]

Does it have to be in a painful manner?

[@CatsOverBrats]

Me and my cousin were both born in 1981 so we often were placed in a room to play together. I remember seeing his anger from age 5. He would smash things and then have a blackout where he couldn't remember he had done it and then accuse me. Then he moved on to killing animals. Then to beating up girlfriend. Then came all the breaking and entering and even trying to run over a neighbor with his car. He kept getting worse and worse. He was in the news paper the other day. This time caught blowing a hole in the wall of a bike shop and stealing 18 electric bikes. Back to jail with him. His parents always blamed everyone else when we were growing up. It wasn't him, or someone forced him, or his girlfriend brought the devil out in him so it was her fault that he beat her. Yeah, they weren't helping at all. I don't know if he could have ever been helped but they didn't even try.

[@bearhugzfam649]

TW for violence including sexual violence, CSA, etc. The moment I've seen - kid was 14. Has been abusive to other kids since he was 6. Not just bullying, but sexual stuff, explicit and detailed threats of violence against parents and pets, things like that. Threatened to stab a pregnant teacher in the stomach to kill her baby any time she disciplined him. Used violence manipulatively and casually as though it was no different from turning a tap on and off to get water. At 8 he went to live with his paternal family because he kept trying to kill his baby sister. At 12 he was stopped from spending time with said sister without *strict* supervision after he was caught trying to touch her inappropriately. Obviously throughout this entire time he was in therapy and the family were trying to figure out why he was behaving this way, but the therapists all said the same thing - there was absolutely nothing to suggest it was part of a mental illness or that it was learned behaviour through any kind of sexual trauma or abuse, and they could actually pinpoint the very innocent origin to the sexual part of his violence. Their professional stance was simply that that's how he wanted to be. 99% of the time he was a perfectly nice person, socially aware, compassionate, etc. etc. but it was like he had no emotional attachment to his actions, whether those actions were giving a homeless man his sandwich or threatening to kill a girl's dog because she wouldn't take her clothes off for him. Still, when he was 12 and caught trying to touch his 4 year old sister, the therapy ramped up, family worked with him more intensively, it was basically 2 years of what looked like real progress. He would speak openly about his behaviour and struggles, engage with therapists and family work, showed apparent remorse, all the good things you look at for someone learning and growing. Then when he was 14 he saw an opportunity to lure and SA an 8 year old neighbour girl and took it. The next day during the fallout, it came to light that he'd actually violently SA'ed his sister a few weeks before he was caught trying to touch her, and just hadn't said anything for the 2 years of 'progress' and intensive work. When he was confronted about it he casually admitted to his attack on his sister like he'd been asked if he'd put the laundry on, like it was absolutely nothing. No defensiveness, no masking, no anger or fear at being caught... it just didn't occur to him that this was something he should be ashamed of. He showed every indication of understanding what he'd done and what was wrong with it, it just didn't connect in his head as something to care about.

Story 19 - the boy in question may be autistic or have ADHD, some of the things he does sound like they may fit one or both of these issues. Also he is only 18, the brain doesn’t fully mature until you’re 25 so there is still hope. Your poor mother, I really feel for her but even if the above is true he may also be just a bad and selfish person.

The sister of the OP in Story #5 was quite eerily like Diane Downs.

[@ladyblue5367]

When my daughter was 4 years old, I gave birth to my son. I thought she was old enough to understand that he needed more care because he was a baby. Fast forward 6 months and I was putting my son in his support chair in the bath tub. I forgot his towel and got up to get one from the hall closet. It's literally 5 feet from the tub. While my back was turned my daughter had slipped in and as I turned around I saw her pushing on her brother trying to put his head in the water. I grabbed her and pushed her away. I thought maybe I was mistaken. But as time wore on I'd find bite marks all over him. I never saw her do anything again, but the evidence was there. We took her to a therapist but she denied everything. Over the years we had to keep her separate from him just to keep him safe. Years later as she married, her husband told me how she drowned his dog and microwaved the cat. She couldn't handle him loving anything but her.

A lot of these kids just seem to need to learn that actions have consequences. I don't normally advocate hitting kids but...

[@Azulakayes]

You can give consequences that don't involve physical violence. I firmly believe that hitting kids is lazy parenting.

[@Plexiux]

"Have you tried beating his ass?" -Grandad, Boondocks.

[@ethanmcrae1665]

@Azulakayes I don't necessarily disagree. I would also submit that these people have been let down by bad parenting most of their lives. As much as a slow structured approach of bit by bit bringing them to understand that thier actions effect others, and simultaneously instilling a sense of empathy in them so that the person can understand that when they treat others poorly there are negative ramifications appeals to me for being the kinder option, any animal can learn the lesson that if they piss off something enough they may get hurt in return. They became the way they were because they were protected from the consequences. If a child mis-behaves, do you not spank them?
