Bad affects of a bad family

While no one is the perfect parent, there are certain parenting behaviors that can have
serious negative effects on children. Children who are raised in families dealing with abuse are
far more likely to suffer from psychological disorders. Neglecting a child, or failing to meet his
or her basic human needs, can a have a dramatic effect on school performance.Children who
were neglected by their parents were more likely to be prosecuted for juvenile delinquency.
Parenting style can have a direct effect on a child's self-esteem and vulnerability to depression.
The study found that if parents are extremely controlling, children are a greater risk for
depression and don't see themselves as positively. Exposing children to a community where there
is significant violence can result in internalized violence and behavior problems in kids.
