A Bad Seed? Maybe...
From Reuters:
If some children seem like they were born to be bad, new research suggests it may be true.
In a study of adult twins and their children, researchers found that genes, rather than parents' own argumentative behavior, seemed key in the children's odds of serious conduct problems — like bullying, skipping school and shoplifting.
The findings, published in the journal Child Development, touch on the classic nature-versus-nurture question.
