Lawrence Kohlberg's pyramid theory (stages of moral development) is flipped and chipped for these kids.

I would additionally posit the more "potential" the youth were given the perception of having, the dramatically worse the comparative results.

I can distinctly, acutely, remember sondering others' unobservable lives, long before I had any distinct sense of agency; comparing their actions against their words and little affects either had on outcomes.

So few times in my life that I have feared repercussions/punishment, it raises the question if its systematic to a group or just an individual anecdote.
