Parents have huge influence on one's future life. They are very first people to show one what life is about and to give a right example of behavior. These people were taught by their parents skills crucial to their survival - how to use the alternative medicine, how to catch a crocodile or how to be a center of people's attention. Even, some of them learned to care for a certain behavior being handed over from generation to generation. This is why there are so many traditions in about every country.However, some parents simply don't teach their children about what is right to do and what is not. These parents may have never time, maybe have excuses for not doing that, what they supposed to. They may not realize about importance of rising their children. Children of these people have no one to point them towards good decisions and care for them. They usually do not behave as children whose parents have been cared of. They usually don't listen to their conscience because in real they don't know about it. That unfortunate beginning of life usually brings these children to involve in "wrong circle behavior".
