Good and bad, and good and evil are subjective values. Generally, what is good is what we want and what ill profit us, and what is bad is what we don't want, and what might harm us. Keeping in mind that those are subjective judgments, to say that a child is bad, or that the child's behavior is bad is to say that the child is doing something the adult doesn't want done. The child is, very likely, just being willful--doing what he or she wants to do.

You really need to clean up what you've written there. Much of what you say could reasonably be disputed, and you need, i believe, to consider the subjective nature of judgments of what is good, what is bad, and what is evil.

@Setanta,
Well do we let our children do as they want.No.It is the roll of the adult to teach good from bad.And majority knows good from bad.even though we differ in what we believe is good or bad.we all have to be taught.

We have to be taught the ways of the society we find ourselves born in. We do not need to be taught that we are evil, simply because we do not know from the adult point of view.
