What I mean is, if a child is really bad now, as in going out late at night, screaming, picking fights, cursing & maybe vandalising, smoking, drinking, drugs, etc, if they survive to adult-hood, what happens to them? When bad children reach adult-hood, do they naturally change their ways, learn from their past-mistakes, mature & become good, kind & responsible adults (in short, grow up) or do bad children remain the same forever, even as adults, & eventually meet a grewsome fate?
I am very interested to know.

Children w/bad behavior become adults with bad behavior. They will end up either working at McDonalds or w/o a job. If they do get jobs they will end up jumping from one to the next because of their inability to submit to authority. Many times this kids end up in prison.
Parents need to read and follow "To Train Up a Child" by Michael and Debi Pearl. If these "kids" are old enough they need to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, repent of their sins and walk with the Lord. Only He can truly change their hearts.

It can go either way. With the right influence and role models, it can just be a phase (albeit a destructive phase) that they can grow out of.
My stepson for example, hit the streets, got involved in drugs and left school at a ridiculous age. However, a few years into it he turned himself around and is now a very law-abiding young man.
On the other hand, these people can also grow up to beget children that in turn display the same behaviours as they still do, and contribute to the breakdown of society.

It really depends. Not all will turn out bad, some of them grow up. Some of them do learn from their past mistakes, and others don't
I myself looked as if I wouldn't make anything of myself. But moving away from where I grew up and leaving behind all the bad influences did a world of difference for me.
Out of everyone in my family I have everything. They really thought I would be dead, in jail, or living on the streets never amounting to anything. And now my mother comes to me to borrow money.
I'm the one that gives the best gifts for holidays, and they are generally very happy with what I've done with my life.
So there's no definite answer they will be good or bad, it's all in whether or not they want to make a change and stick to it, or if they just grow out of being a f- up

I think it's a stage or phase these children go through, some actually outgrow these bad habits because they realise what they've been doing is wrong..It takes time but it happens in the end. The stubborn ones carry on livin that life and they become nothing, they end up becoming criminals because the can't make end meet. You know where that life leads to JAIL...

More than likely they will continue their behavior if an adult don't intervene and at least try to get them to change their ways.They will be in and out of jail,hurting people verbally and physically.They will be nut cases that society will have to put up with unless they are taken off the streets.

Its not the worst thing, but I'd be pretty p!ssed if my kid turned into a White Sox fan. The Cubs suck, but still... how cool is it that they've gone almost 100 years without winning a World Series? No other team can say that!

Hahaha, I have watched it happen to my sister. Things did not get better for her, and the ***** deserves everything bad she gets.
She was the one who CHOSE to be violent, do drugs, fight, etc. SHE did it to HERSELF, and now she needs to live with the consequences of having no home, and no one who will look out for her (because she will just kick them).
They don't get better. They should frankly be shot. (especially if, like my sister, they don't take any of the help which has been offered SO many times!)
Bad kids become bad adults.

It really depends on that persons values and the opportunities that he gets in life. Some kids manage to turn their life around, some don't
