What I meant was they are honest with their feelings. Most of my views changed, but I am still the same person essentially. But now it is not okay to do somethings I would like to do. I lie to not hurt feelings, I lie because I don't want to hurt people. But I am not honest, and I even trick myself. I guess what I'm trying to say is they are not intentionally bad, just doing what they do based on what others do, or what they are trying.
Cruel is the intention of inflicting pain upon others for yourself. They probably aren't really being mean, just imitating others, maybe adults, maybe other kids, but most kids at heart are not bad, at least not evil.
n3ophy7e, sorry about your experiences, it sucks that a childhood was ruined that way for you. Mines was ruined by inactivity and lack of interaction, not negative nor positive, and still I am nowhere.
Its easy to see someone as a model or entity, but in reality everyone is quite similar. They are just interacting in a different manner, sometimes in a way that damages you.
I see what you mean about kids - but being picked on as a kid by adults would be totally different then, yes ? I mean the dude who went to town on me - that mother fucker was pure evil, I honestly don't care what anyone says theres some good in everyone ... I don't believe it - some people are fucking twisted.
Just to make sure - kids imitating , agree not evil / cruel (depending on word use) but certainly hurtful.
An independent adult action - can be cruel / evil in your line of thought ?
Sorry I get confused with this stuff , it brings back hard times and I think about those times often to try to get more peace of mind.
