- They weren't born bad.
- They had no control over what happened to them as children.
- The things they did to cope were normal and expected, even if coping involved smoking, drinking, having inappropriate sex, doing drugs, overeating, doing thrill sports, overachieving, engaging in violence, stealing, etc.
