What makes them different?

So a question...What makes a kid become delinquent? This of course is one of those questions that has no one answer. I have taken more than one semester long course on this very subject. I want to know what other people think, not just what my college books say. I personally think that the answer is multi-faceted. I feel that a child's behavior is based on both their genetic makeup that brings them into life with a set personality, and I also feel that the environment a child is raised in also contributes equally. What do you think? I really want to know. I guess this blogging session is more of and inquiry than me telling you anything. I want to have a conversation about juvenile delinquency.

What's the headcount on the number of successful children born with cocaine in their system?

Its funny I didn't make the comment above this one and blogger says it was me! It is an interesting question. I do think that their are successful children in spite of being born as drug babies. It is definitely a challenge for them though.
