But then he started going on about 'bravado' and boys trying to impress other boys. My first queation was, hang on, does he not actually think that any of the students in his school have raped other students? Because that's a big school. Statistically, it's probably happened. And there are students, boasting that they have. So how about there is some investigation into whether or not there was any rape befor we start talking about bravado? And yeah, I bet they are feeling awful and sorry. Sorry that they got dobbed on and are having to face consequences.<br /><br /><br />Bravo to the ones who called attention to it.

You must see those episodes before you criticise the research. It was about nature versus nuture and the results showed that if a young child is not nutured emotionally and is neglected then that child will have problems later in life. Some of the people who have appeared in The Darklands by Nigel Latta have gone onto murder and he has shown that they basically had an awful upbringing. This is not about racisim or people on benefits, it is about young people who have been emotionally and physically abused and neglected and despite what you were born with (nature) it is nuture or lack of it which determines what type of life they will have as an adult.<br /><br /> Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315046467991044553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-21422359924729355222016-12-16T13:22:08.229+13:002016-12-16T13:22:08.229+13:00My understanding of the research findings is that ...My understanding of the research findings is that the child's personality types is of significance ans the genetic influence is such that with other mitigating factors in place then all bets are off. If we had a society that understood that some need more help from teachers and other supports including family and made provision that such extra supports would be there then we can mitigate for a great deal. But we don't we have a society in which being a mother is the lowest profession and if you are on a benefit to support you as a solo parent you will be paid well below a living wage and expected to leave your children to rush out and get a job asap which will be if a minimum wage job still below what is considered a living wage. If two parent families can't survive on the two wages what the hell can we hope for.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09478738810157910233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-3612214517219886732016-12-15T08:15:10.010+13:002016-12-15T08:15:10.010+13:00This is an excellent statement, Hand Mirror.
