Exactly what age to male children become total assholes?

I seem to recall recovvering from the state at some point in adolecnec, my main gripe is that my girlfriend's son is now reaching that stage at age 9....

He talks back to us....
He's getting teacher's comments for harrassing the girls in school....
He's acting out in public....

WTF

sorry, just a little conserned...

Why little old me? I've been a perfect angel since day one. :D

But my observatiosn of others have brought me to the conclusion that it's anywhere from 10-13. When men leave assholiness, however, is an enitrely different question altogether.

Its getting younger. I'd say anywhere from 8-14 pending on the enviroment the child grows up in.

I was always too damn good. I was so good, that my mother was concerned about the fact that I was never any trouble.
Then I overcompensated when I got to the latter part of high school :oops:

I started showing signs of being a dick around 9-10, but other than outright lying to my parents on a semi-regular basis I was a pretty good kid. Didn't start talking back to my parents till I was about 18, and only when they were being complete dicks, which unfortunately at that time was pretty often. Things have settled down now, but unfortunately we've all lost some respect for each other that may never be regained.

I'd say I was around 9 when that started, since that's when I started getting a short temper. But it wasn't until I was about 11 when I became an asshole to my parents.

I never went through that stage... seriously. I have no recollection of rebelling from my parents or doing stupid things most teenagers do.

I also never really been through that stage. As far as I can tell, I've had pretty much the same (internal) personality ever since I can remember, just some minor tweaks as time passes on. (Dealing with external things did change a bit though....)

Started for me around 10-11(5th and 6th grades were particularly unkind for my being a complete nice-guy)

Didn't really hit it's stride at around 17-18(mostly because Dad and I had arguments of my college and what career I should have)

But for my cousins...around 10-14(I know big stretch) is around when they stopped being cute and started being a little prickish.

Can't speak for myself as I've never been there personally, but the youngest I've seen it is about 5 or so.

Had to get 12 stitches on the back of my head because of that little bastard. Who knows just how fucked up that family really was. :roll:

Personally i've been a wee cunt from the moment i leaned to talk. I only calmed down when i was faced with nearly losing my dad mainly due to my bad behaviour and acting up etc. The stress of my behavious gave him a heart attack.

Most males become back talking cheeky fucks arround the point where their balls drop. Some time in the early stages of puberty a male gets the impression that a female is impressed by cocky arrogance.
