Rules for the raising of a juvenile delinquent

1. Begin from infancy to give the child everything he wants. This way he will grow up to believe that the world owes him a living.
2.When he picks up bad words, laugh at him. It will encourage him to pick up “cuter” phrases that will blow the top off your head later.
3.Never give him any spiritual training. Wait until he is twenty-one and then let him decide for himself.
4.Avoid the use of the word “wrong”. It may develop a guilt complex. This will condition him to believe later, when he is arrested for stealing a car, that society is against him and he is being persecuted.
5.Pick up anything he leaves lying around–books, shoes, clothing. Do everything for him so he will be experienced in throwing the responsibility onto others.
6.Let him read any printed matter he can get his hands on. Be careful the silverware and drinking glasses are sterilized, but let his mind feed on garbage.
7.Quarrel frequently in the presence of the children. Then they won’t be too shocked when the home is broken up.
8.Give the child all the spending money he wants. Never let him earn his own. Why should he have things as tough as you had them?
9.Satisfy his every craving for food, drink, and comfort. See that every desire is gratified. Denial may lead to harmful frustrations.
10.Take his part against the neighbors, teachers, and policemen. They are all prejudiced against your child.
11.When he gets into real trouble, apologize for yourself by saying, “I never could do anything with him.”
12.Prepare for a life of grief–you will have it.

Raise a child with no limits, no rules, no responsibility for his/her actions and this is what you get.

Very good post. I particularly like the last one “Prepare for a life of grief”. It really wraps all the previous points up. It is a real shame that some parents actually do some of these things.

Thank you for sharing.

Hope you don’t mind your 11 & 12 where showing up as a pragraph before I editted:)

I have friends and family and neighbors who have taken this advice, followed each step 1 through 12 to the letter, now we all have to live with the results, the jails, the welfare, the crime, the graffiti, the higher taxes to pay for the cleanup.

Everybody needs a mentor, example or goal. Parenting is tough and it takes a community to raise a child. Respecting other people, opinions and kindness within personal values is a good start. I like manners:) Thank you for reading.

No. Just no. So the only way a child can be raised is under complete and total control…not being given any thing, only having to work. Being forced to follow in their parents footsteps. What a fantastic way to raise a good little robot.

This is so very true in the world we live in today. I just wish that more people would realize this when raising a child in this world. People are not born the way they are they are created by the things we do and say to them. Also from the lack of discipline in there life. It will be much easier to raise a child up right then to mend an adult. These children are the future we need to raise them to be honorable adults. Of course sometimes kids have bad influences in there life that turn them away from there parents. But parents just keep loving them and being there for them anyway not takin the responsibility from them but being there for them thru it. God bless the kids and the parents in this crazy world we are in.
