[QUOTE="witzend, post: 83155, member: 99"] I don't think you are raising a sociopath, but I only say that because I thought the same thing of mine when he was that age (and other ages), he could ace any test and charm his way through any paper by remembering the bare necessities and logic. [I]And[/I] he was a nerd who wanted to be cool, started breaking into cars and houses, defaced public and private property, etc... It [I]did[/I] help somewhat that we put him in a college prep high school for a while. The cool kids were not thugs, they were well dressed clean cut kids who did well in their classes and had legitimate activities. Not to say that they didn't party too much, but for a while it wasn't horrendous. :frown: :slap: Why do they think this way? Why don't they think "I knew how much trouble I had been in at home so I didn't do it." For crying out loud, of [I]course[/I] their group is going to be looked at, and of [I]course[/I] someone is going to name names! What do they think, that they're in the Mafia and there's a sworn blood oath? [/QUOTE]
