Being a human is hard. There are so many physiological, psychological, social and cultural things that are in play all the time, there's bound to be hiccups every once in a while, if not more often.

And it's even more so a problem when a very complicated you have to pass on your worldly knowledge and skill on to your kids so that they won't make the same mistakes. But they're as complicated as everyone else!

And the vicious cycle keeps on perpetuating itself because of this, leading some to wonder about it. And much of today's wondering is done on Reddit, among other places, where, incidentally, we have one user asking folks what’s a sign that somebody wasn’t raised right?

Bored Panda collected the top answers to the now-viral thread, and has glued together the macaroni-art piece you can see below. So, upvote, comment, and discuss these and other signs someone wasn't raised right in the comment section below!

    Empty theater seats with popcorn and trash scattered on the floor showing signs of behaviors linked to being not raised right. If they make messes in public areas and just wander off (leaving trash in the theater, not flushing, leaving the cart in a parking space). Edit: forgot the theater thing is the norm in Britain! I meant in general, leaving a mess where it's not supposed to be.

    Man taking photo of child lying on ground in urban plaza, illustrating behaviors linked to being raised right or not The word "no" just means throw a fit and be as obnoxious as you can be until you get your way. "No" does not mean that rules are rules or someone's job might be on the line, they're the important one, not anyone else.

    Person looking at a self-centered mirror installation showing multiple reflections, illustrating behaviors of those not raised right Turning conversation back to themselves at all cost. Being a good listener is a sign of a person raised well. Edit: to clarify, I don’t mean quiet or a doormat. I mean generous, empathetic, supportive and curious. Good follow-up questions without making it about oneself, etc.

    Various pairs of shoes neatly arranged on a shoe rack, illustrating behaviors of people not raised right. People who don’t offer to help you clean up when they are visiting you. Like having friends over and them leaving you with all the beer bottles, bowls and glasses on the table. I don’t mind cleaning up, but I always offer when at someone else house. You make the mess together.

    Hand holding a glass of red wine in foreground with child on a swing in the background showing signs of behaviors. I'm gonna answer this literally. As a teacher, I see there's a lot of different values that go into parenting styles, some that aren't my values but still raise a productive, responsible, and successful child. But there is evidence of bad parenting from a child development point-of-view. -Is extra clingy and implies or outright states your their sole custodian for their well-being. -Is incredibly aggressive about getting their way or being correct all the time. -Responds to slights or inconveniences violently. -Is extremely withdrawn and doesn't care for self. -On the flip side, is very self-sufficient from a very young age and also has anxiety and/or depression. -Seeks attention constantly. Not just a lot, but *constantly.* Obviously, the child abuse signs are indicators of not being raise right, and only apply here to actual children, but it never hurts to remind people of them: -Has suspicious bruising/injuries on body where it's not normal to have injuries (ex. bruised forehead and skinned knees are normal on toddlers, black eyes are not) -Carefully covers parts of the body that would not normally be covered (Ex. Won't roll up sleeves even a little on hot days which, bonus, is also a sign of self-harm) -Is inappropriately sexual and/or knowledgable about sexuality for age group -Is weirdly afraid to be alone with another person. Not just, I dont want to go home because my dad's gonna give me a whuppin for starting a fight at school, but something like finding a lot of excuses to not hang out with an older cousin ever -Is often dirty, stinky, soiled -Is often underfed -Tells you they are being abused I took this way too seriously, but there you go! EDIT: People are commenting with personal situations that involve the warning signs of child abuse I mentioned, but aren't child abuse in their case. This is what makes it so hard to detect. Kids are always bruised, stinky, and secretive. What's important is to keep an open mind, and sort of observe a pattern of signs and behaviors. If alarm bells go off, our first impulse is to explain it away, but making an anonymous tip is not as harmful as people believe. In my experience, nothing is even investigated until the reports pile up unless you physically witness the abuse. EDIT 2: Just to be clear, the first list just means the parents or household should be better to optimally encourage the wellness of a child. The second is of warning signs of abuse.

    Cluttered and neglected kitchen showing clear signs of people who weren’t raised right with messy behaviors and disorder. They don't know how to do normal household stuff. I've seen people that don't even know how to make their own coffee or clean a toilet. Edit: I only mentioned making coffee as an example. If you don't know how to make coffee because you don't drink it, that's fine.

    Collision between a bus and a pickup truck in snowy conditions showing behaviors linked to people not raised right. They apologize for every little thing. Probably a sign that they grew up with abusive parents that got mad over anything and everything.
