Anti-Social

In a world full of fears, perhaps the worst one a human being should

have is that to be afraid of his fellow man. The human that should be most feared is the one that

has Anti-Social Personality Disorder or in laymen's terms the psychopath. The psychopath is probably the

system as explained in the video "The World of Personality Disorders volume 5" says the sociopath is

"emotionally retarded" . The sociopathic behavior problems that start as a child have links to

heredity, a family with a pre-disposition to perform crimes, alcoholic parents that do crimes,

irresponsible behavior that persists and parents that do not discipline. The child that will eventually

be a sociopath exhibits certain feeling inside that they are inadequate, shamed and because of that they

are teased and made fun of. The child characteristics of a future sociopath consist of being incapable of

following the rules. The youngster will skip school, bully, steal!

, torment animals, run away from home and the child is likely to develop Attention Deficit Hyperactivity

Disorder or AD|HD. At an earlier age than their peer group the child will smoke drink, do drugs, and

become sexually active. The diagnoses of Anti-Social Personality Disorder is not used for people under

the age of 18.
