Answer 1

Answer: I think people do bad things mostly because of the past. My personal life proof is the story of my friend. He was a good and well-mannered boy in elementary school, but after being bullied, he changed a lot. In the end, after the holidays, he took revenge on them by beating them and began to mock them and other students at school.
