Kids grow up and kids change. Parenting is one aspect of many influences that shape a person. If a 13 year old kid is spouting off, does that mean they'll do it when they mature? Not necessarily. There will always be good people, bad people, nice people, stupid people, jackass people, hilarious people... just because you were raised a certain way, doesn't mean other ways are wrong. That's all I'm saying.

Probably has a lot to do with people always flipping houses trying to make a profit rather than settling into an area and developing a sense of "it takes a village to raise a child" enviroment.
