Search Results: crying for no reason

I'm wondering up to what point should you be honest?

If I were asked what's the meanest thing I ever did, I wouldn't know find that easy to answer. I did really bad things during my younger years with my former friend. Both of us spent 6 years in a juvenile center.

I'll answer that hypothetical question here anonymously:
I was a month shy of turning 10 and my friend was 11 at the time. It was beating up two smaller
children, covering them with creepy-crawlies and dirty (causing them to scream and cry in disgust), placing them on a plastic, mobile garbage bin and walked away laughing.
Prior it that... setting an parked, unoccupied car on fire and vandalizing a couple houses. The only time I acted only was in expressing my anger towards my former neighbor. Not at him directly (I couldn't) but at his Panda Shepherd by poisoning it; the only single time I took a living thing's life basically.

When I got older, I became more aware of the impact my actions caused towards others. I do regret it all. I don't know what on earth I was thinking back then. It was mainly me reacting in anger and doing bad things to show off, for no reason but to brag about it.

I can think of a couple times, which I didn't feel bad at all:

- Cheating on some exams during my school years. If I ever got caught then I was smarter next time. I only cheated once in a college and got away with it but this time I felt some guilt and never did it again.

- In 12th grade: took home someone's biology project, copied it (changed some of the wordings and pictures on my paper) and returned with both the student's and my paper. We both got either an A or B.

- 12th grade incident with French teacher: She found out I would either borrow from others or steal extra credit tickets to get more A's. As she was explaining how I hurt her, gave her a headache and even made her cry that day, I listened in silence and didn't care. All I was thinking of was ''Big deal, they're just worthless tickets... oh well at least I got away with it before''.

- Used to be a kleptomaniac during my mid teen years and would have kept doing it until I got caught eventually on cams. No arrest though but my parents had an embarassed look on their faces.

This is minor in comparing to someone that's really on the end of the spectrum but can genetics explain this?
My father used to be a school bully (he and his friends once left a boy with just underwears, hung his clothes on a tree and left laughing) and enjoyed it. Several years ago during a reunion, he was bragging about it and till this day doesn't feel bad about it.

My father's older sister was worse: When she was 15, she grabbed a knife and ripped her sister-in-law's couch for no reason other. She found it funny seeing her sister-in-law cry about it. Her parents and her half-sister knew about it but it was excused as typical teenage stage. As an adult, she once tried to make her daughter-in-law sick but her son switched plates; he ended up with a stomach ache and diarrhea for a couple days. She used to enjoy causing emotional distress towards others.
