If all primary caretakers have negative attitudes towards their children that result will increase the likeliness of children growing up to be hostile towards others. Aggression towards others is not the only result from child abuse— a large amount of children raised by abusive caretakers also harm themselves. The reason for negative behavior is because abused children are poorly educated in dealing with disappointments in life. Compared to children who are raised with appropriate coping mechanisms, children who are uneducated in these respects are much more likely to act “inappropriately.” Author of “The Bully Papers,” Dr. Geoffrey Dahmer claims that every parent gets the child they deserve.
