No, I've had friends that were good people that had some pretty messed up parents.

No because a person can learn about wrong from right anywhere in their environment but having bad parents makes life harder and it is harder to rise above the circumstances created by lousy parenting when the two biggest (or typically biggest) influences in a child's life are messed up. Then again, even good parents sometimes have children grow up and do terrible things so parents are only one of the influences in a child's life, you also have society, friends, nature, biology and perception (mind & emotions).

Bad parents influence children in their everyday lives in how they act and what they say. This is really the only thing their children would know! However, the children can make the decision to change how they act if they know they want to act and want to change. The parents begin it, but the children end it if they really do want to turn their life around. Another factor could be outside influences like T.V and friends.

No parents are all bad or all good. I think we all are sometimes "good example of what not to be", and most kids are usually smart enough to pick up on those issues and vow to be different; while others may be so traumatized that they become psychosocial. I guess a big part of it depends on the severity of how "bad" the parents are... or in some cases the 'funny uncle'........

Not really. Some children see the bad in their parents and work on not being like them.

Bad parents make bad kids? Possible. Bad parenting making bad kids? Very Very likely.
We see it every day, parents who are absent - working horrendous hours - because they think the kids need more stuff, than they need their parents' time. We see it where the parents want to be the kid's "friend" and not the disciplinarian. We see parents with "good intentions" ruining the kids, letting them become uncaring brats, who think the world owes them, even when they have done nothing to earn it.

Not always. Sometimes good parents make bad children. Every child grows up to be an adult who needs to make choices. Those choices can not always be blamed on how the child was raised.

No. I've seen some brats come from loving parents, and I've seen some dedicated hard workers come from indifferent parents so bad parents don't always make bad children.

No i know some kids who's parents were abusive, drunken, drug using, party animals and these kids probably had a good meal 65 days out of the year and graduated the top of their classes and went to Harvard and UCLA.
Me on the other hand got everything i ever wanted growning up so, never lifted a finger; did nothing with my life... who wants to do stuff like succeed when you have it so good?
j/k, lol.

nope, and the opposite isn't necessarily true either. I've know messed up kids to come from good parents, and great kids to come from bad ones. It's a crapshoot. All you can do is stay involved and keep on top of things as much as possible, and never turn a blind eye to signs that your kid may be up to no good.

No, not really. Bad parents could make the child be the complete opposite of what they see.
