Can early abuse also be responsible for creating aggressive children?

[Anonymous]

I recalled being advanced for my age when I was 7-11 years old (when speaking) but also had issues with my temper. If another kid tried bullying me, I would fight back and hurt him/her. I vandalized someone's car with a friend once. We threw rocks at it and also smacked it with a large wood.

With help, improvements were made but it was a process. One of my mother's past boyfriend is in prison for a very long time for the terrible thing he did. I heard not even the convicts or a gang leader wanted him. He had to be away from the general population. If someone abuses or corrupts a child's mind, can that also be responsible for creating aggressive children with destructive behaviors?

At the time when I was angry, I acted like a wild animal full of rage.

It's like I was a couple steps away from being a real crazy person that would've commited crimes as an adult. Help eventually intervened at the right time, before it would've been too late.
So basically a child's mind can still be worked out with help.

Thank you for sharing, sounds like you turned out alright.

You're welcome. I find it interesting that even a thug or gang leader (the toughest convicted criminals, ghetto types) also reacted with such hatred if someone does something to a kid.

That's because they know what any abused kid can turn into.
