I think that people can definitely change. If they really wanted to change who they are, they can do it. They can change it if they know that their future will depend on them changing. It doesn't only happen in movies, it happens in real life too!

A person who has a really bad past can change. But not with the help of just them self's or other people. They can really change if they no and realise that God is there salvation and not man. People that were or are bad must find it in them self's that they needed or need the help. God is the only one who knows that person heart.And if that person is secure you will no it by there actions and not just there words, that they have changed. If your planning on forgiving a person or being in there lives,don't move to fast into there lives. Let them prove to you, for a long time that they have reached the point in there lives,that they needed help to change.If God said he forgives those who ask he will forgive and only God can change there lives. The world can't. If the world couldn't , the world wouldn't change this person a long time ago.So it not the world can change you, after all it was, wants in the world that made this person bad. So there for this person needed or needs help from a higher source. Like God.To answer your question the answer would be yes.

yes ppl can change if they work hard enough. but they wont change completely. for example my dad used to be a drunk, do drugs, and end of in jail alot for flipping out on family and friends. but he stopped drinking, doing drugs, and going to jail. He has not had one drink of alcohol, done drugs, or went to jail for 10 years. so i believe thats a person that changed but he doesnt really think about the things that r important in life. Like he always had his gfs come b4 his kids and his wife is now b4 his kids. also playing poker and stuff like that is also more important. just like when he did drink and do drugs those things were more important then his kids. so some things never change.

Yes, people can change, but they often don't.
Be sure of one thing. They won't change because you want them to. It is something that can only come from within a person.
Usually it comes after hitting "rock bottom" that the person finally finds the motivation to change.
They will only change when and if they are ready. It won't be because of you.

There is no doubt about it. The biggest hurdle though, is getting people to trust you in a timely manner. It only takes a moment to do something you regret. Unfortunately, it may take years for others to trust you again because of it. However, it is worth it. What's the point of living if not to continually improve ourselves to become the very person that God knows we can be?

i hope i have changed since i was 16 years old,25 years old 40 years old.we all change and learn as we age.
if a person does not learn and keeps doing bad things than the chances are they will continue to do bad things.

They have to PROVE they have changed; not promise that they will change. Dependent upon what "bad things" they did in in past doesn't necessarily wipe the slate clean.
