My Question of the Day: There are no bad people; just good people in bad situations. Agree or Disagree?

My 2 Cents: When we’re children, it’s possible for us to be good people in bad situations; living in extreme poverty, tolerating abusive parents, surviving horrible foster homes, dodging bullets and drug dealers, etc.

When we become adults, we can allow the bad situations of our childhood to turn us into people who do very bad things.
