I bet if we looked at this home life we could get a better idea of where this behavior comes from. But thats just my opinion.

Not sure if you meant 3% of the people but the rate is a little higher.
Since I work with people with disabilities I see people with learning disorders every day.
I also see the results when people become adults without learning the skills it takes deal with those disorders.
They lead terribly chaotic lives and have a very hard time.
Yes, it is possible that the kid has a personality disorder or comes from a bad home.
However when you see a constant pattern of that kind of behavior from someone that young there are usually more complex reasons then just being a brat.
