No it is not. Again, it depends on the type of household you grow up in. If you're homeschooled all your life by a nun and priest, then would you really turn to violence?

Thinking it is impossible is very pessimistic, in my opinion.

No, but you'd become withdrawn and extremely opinionated ._.

:/ I personally think it has to do with upbringing. Same goes for a lot of kids being diagnosed with stuff at a wrong age. Some of it is severe and needs to be diagnosed.. but most of it has to do with the parents and how they raise their children.

There was an international animated film I watched recently about how parents give their kids ritalin instead of helping them deal with a problem..
and my god was it a scary and impactful film ._. It's called To Swallow a Toad


That's an excerpt from it.

It honestly gave me chills after watching the whole thing.. like.. and it was one of the very few times I saw something.. and when it ended.. the person next to me and I both turned to each other and said..
".. Wooahh....."
 
For violent games...
I play Smash Bros. Melee (cause I like it more than brawl), Soul Caliber, Tekken 6, and I "guess" The Tales games from Namco are violent.

Eh. I don't think the games can make one violent, but some people think so~
 
I'm an ambivert, though I'm leaning more towards the introverted side. Bullying and bad teachers in my past really helped me become this way.

I wonder how long it'll be 'til I stop spazzing about my school ring. I even made a thread relating to it.

So you are saying the person is going to be homeschooled even after their adolescent is over and into Adulthood through the duration of their life? And they will have no other influences outside the church? That doesn't seem realistic to me. Unless I misunderstood what you where getting at. To me environment plays a factor but it is not the end all be all of how a person ends up. Say a person is raised in a environment where their mother is a prostitute and their father is a drug dealer does that necessarily mean that they will become one of those two once they reach Adulthood? Yes the likelihood increases but that does not mean the out come will occur that they will take up with of those occupations.
 
I was just trying to give an example of how someone would grow up without being violent, and I'm not the best at wording/examples for the most part :/
 
Oh, okay. Although I do agree environment does play a key role in molding a persons life it just doesn't seem absolute. I will leave the nature vs. nurture debate to somebody else since I am too lazy to debate things.

@_@ I've seen situations where that's happened.. and their only hobby outside of studying the bible (or math and etc) are jogging.

And they are some pretty messed up people.. Maybe they weren't violent.. but.. yeah.. they're messed up.

My mom once called me shy as a little girl and since then it stuck. I'm definitely nothing like that when I'm online. Though I can be pathetically pessimistic and down in the dumps at times.

Oh yeah. I act a bit different online. I'm a little bit out spoken online then I am at school. I'm not shy online. I'm only shy when I just joined a new site and don't know who everyone is quiet yet but once I do that goes away quickly. I'm somewhat the opposite then the way I act from Real Life. Kinda weird a bit.

It may not be so weird. Initially a new person is trying to fit in and learn the in's and out's of the site. A lot of time I see new people lurking setting back and observing how the community works and how people in the community act. Iy may be more adapting to a new thing then being shy. I may be generalizing but I do often see new people reserved a quiet for a bit then gradually mesh into the site. And not being shy online and real life I could see since you are not directly interacting with the people it may be more comforting to some people.
 
I act the the same way online as I do offline.
 
I'm a lot less quiet IRL? :D But I do act as insane as I do online in real life, so that hasn't changed, lol.
 
Irl, yes. But can you see me being shy online?

Why would I join a Pokemon forum if I were shy online?

/though I'm shy about starting up conversations through VM/PM/WLM/AIM
