Even pre puberty kids are nasty. What I always hated was when a child be sweet and then all of a sudden they are snotty and rude to me. I remember this girl who give me a hard time on the bus but her little sister was sweet and we talk sometimes and she was in kindergarten then. But then when she got to first grade, she was all of a sudden rude to me and didn't like how I talked. I didn't know what was going on and then I realized it was the new her and she had became like her parents. Hey even little kids are bullies and pick on others.
Even my old best friend Sara was sweet my parents said but when she got to Kindergarten she got mean but she still play with me.
Most little kids are sweet and not like their parents but when they get to elementary school, they start acting like them. If the parents are bullies and jerks, their kids are more likely to act like one too because they learn the behavior. I say Kindergarten or first grade. But I knew a kid in my neighborhood who was also sweet but when I got to seven years old, he started to get mean and it didn't become obvious till I was eight and he was five years old and in kindergarten by then. But the problem was he was mouthy and a smart alec and his parents never corrected his behavior and they let him be mean to other kids and they did nothing about it. His mother just kept praying to god asking him to make her sona better person.
And people say kids are innocent?
But I have noticed how younger kids are more obedient and more controllable but when they get to their teens, they are more hard to control. I noticed at 11 years old how kids listen to grown ups more and mind the substitute teacher more but as they get older, they listen to the grown ups less and give sub teachers a hard time. What I also like about little kids is they are honest. older kids learn to sugar coat things and filter themselves what they say by not saying it. Sure kids young as six learn to tell white lies but they are still developing it because they still say things you shouldn't say. They will say things like "Ew I am not sitting next to him, he stinks." "I don't want that piece, she touched it." "Your breath stinks." Kids are even still saying those things at nine years old. But then when they get to their teens, they say those things just to be mean (unless they have AS
)
What was hard about my brothers was, I didn't mind when they have friends over but when they got to their pre teens, eleven and twelve, they started to get noisier and make more messes and sounds and they have more friends over and be there longer and it was hard for me because I was always made out to be the bad guy by my parents because of my anxiety. I think kids get more sociable when they hit puberty because they are heading for adulthood and that's why they are called adolescents. They are going from childhood to adulthood. They also want more rights and freedom and they start forming their own opinions than opinions based on what their parents taught them or told them and you can't change them by telling them "It's not right." So they may not agree with everything their parents want and their rules so that's why there are arguments between teens and parents.
