Mega Mind ... how the bad people become bad?

I just now watched one child movie, called "Mega Mind". The story was pretty interesting. For two kids - everyone of them was trying to show creativity and original attitude at school. One of the kids was great appreciated and rewarded for everything he did. He was the school hero, he was everywhere, doing everything in a good way. The other one was more modest, he was doing his best to show how great and interesting person is he, but he always received judgments and punishments, so he couldn't express his real feelings and believes. That's how the one, who was blamed all the time became Mega Mind - the bad hero. When he couldn't show his nice and positive attitude, when nobody appreciated him and nobody liked him, he decided to become one guy who is doing problems all the time. Now i'm thinking about people, who start doing crimes, who find other problematic people and just use that surrounding to make problems to the others. People with cruel attitude, people who are doing even the most nice and beauty thing one big messy... What is the reason? For me it's one complex that people received as children, when they couldn't express their feelings, when they didn't have friends to understand and support them, when they couldn't move on after something bad happened in their life. What could be the reason for someone who is bad, to keep being bad?

hi Suggar In a way thats a cop out for someone who had a miserable childhood to just go on doing stuff thats bad and makes him or her more miserable. Okay a lot of really good, nice people also had those problems but they learned to see the positive in life and also to take over responsibility for themselves and make the changes they know will help them be happy and successful so I do not buy it that because one had problems as a child they have to just go on getting into trouble. we at age 18 or so are responsible for what we do and what we become as we cannot forever say oh I am bad because of this or that. too many people rise about that crap so I know it does not have to be that way at all.

That's true Hatley, but i believe that for the change there must be some reason - few good advices, friends who support you or something like that, which happens later when you are out of the bad childhood. My parents are divorced and i remember one friend of my mother was always saying to me: "I just can't believe you are so normal young girl. You don't smoke, you have never tried joint, you don't get drunk, you don't go out to late nights and your mom to wonder where you are, you never had problem childhood". Actually i had one of the most hard childhoods what one kid can have. But good thing for me was that i met great company of people, who were much older than me and they were interested in music and poetry, so we could play guitars, we could sing together and i grow up around them. What i want to say now is that something has to happen before the change. We can't excuse that kind of people because of their hard childhood whole life long, but we can try to help them if nobody else did it before (doesn't matter that they are grown up).

Hi Hatley I agree with your opinion, in my opinion if a child has somekind of bad experience, may be purely accidental or abuse by some body, the effect remains for long, deep in mind. kalyani

Pretty simple the person never received any love, support and or encouragement to know the prettier side of life. However, take it from someone like me who was never raised with either of my parents and bounced from home to home from the day I was born. Life was not encouraging, pretty and hopeful. I had to find ways to get myself to where and who I am so it is the power of one self to want life to be different. Does not have to include being rich, it includes being strong, straight forward and the need to break the bad chain of life.

Thank you for that opinion Hard Working, i think it depends on character. Some people are just raised in cruelty and can't move on to see the beautiful side of the life and they never see it, because as children they lost their eyes for seeing the good and the love someone can give them. Others are really strong and even if something bad happened to them, they try to move on and to change the situation.

Hi Suggar, Well there are many. Let me start with this - "No one is born bad" (though there are a couple of exceptions). Now for your discussion's response - I can find a couple of reasons for why people keep being bad - 1. The society doesn't allow them to move ahead and start afresh - Social Stigma - where you feel - once a thief always a thief. 2. They feel being bad is easier - you get results fast when you are in the negative paths (They fail to see that in the long run they end up being a loser though) 3. They have a higher ego state - they seem to think what they are doing is the only way and more so - the only correct way 4. You can also include all these words - poverty, greed, lust, hate, inferiority complex too (though at times) Hope my small set of information helps. Cheers, theSids.

Hello Sid, i like really a lot the first part: The society doesn't allow them to move ahead and start afresh - Social Stigma - where you feel - once a thief always a thief. Here we have a lot of examples for unrealized dreams and i can see the result for the people when they grow up and become adults.

When I was a kid I paid attention to the families I had a deep friendship with and watched how their children grew up and what they became. I've seen kids come from the same family who became different things. One would be in jail all the time, the other a productive happy member of society. I was very good friends of two girls from one family. One turned mean, gossiping, evil, and backstabbing. The other is the nicest person on the planet, wouldn't say a bad thing about anybody! There's rumors around the neighborhood about her being gay. So when I saw her for the first time in 36 years I gave her a hug and how happy I was to see her again. As for her sister, if I saw her again I would find it hard to choke out a "hi". I want her to know nothing about my beautiful life now!

I can find sense in your words. Even if the child has no abusive past in the family, it will have when the child is a part of the society. These people need chance to change and the right strategy from others to them.

hi, i think people become bad because sometimes they had sad life, or maybe because they had bad background of living, or very problematic people,and the others just want to revenge, and just to survive, being bad could have many ways of reason.

someone will still be bad because he had been accustomed to do bad deeds, or she has the ambition of something which he considers true.

You are right, the ambition sometimes makes tricks with us, our personality and believes. That's why i don't like too ambitious people, some of them are ready to do everything only to reach their goals.
