The majority of the diagnosis’s the kids were given were the type that when I explained them to other people they would instantly question that they were actually real diagnosis. Then, when they found out that they were actually real things, diagnosed by real doctors they would question the legitimacy of the entire Physiological profession. It is only after they realize that by admitting that psychology might be a joke, and by doing so they are in fact agreeing with the mad rantings of Tom Cruise that they begrudgingly admit that Oppositional  defiant disorder (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/oppositional-defiant-disorder/basics/symptoms/con-20024559) and intermittent explosive disorder (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/intermittent-explosive-disorder/basics/symptoms/con-20024309 ) might actually be fact real conditions and not just the most common symptom of being a teenager.

With this in mind it might seem a little less harsh when I say most of the kids I worked with were not in fact ill but just fucking idiots.
They are delinquent, Yes! They had a terrible start in Life, most certainly. Many of the things that have happened to them are not their fault.  Tragically true. But this wouldn’t explain the behaviors I would deal with on a daily basis.

Sometime mid 2006 I made my contribution to psychology, and revolutionized the field of mental health when I coined the term Naughtisum.

Naughtism like its cognate is a spectrum social disorder. Where autism effects social interactions and language.  Naughtism effects your ability to do the morally right thing even when there seems (to the regular human) no other option than to do the right thing.

Someone on the Naughtisum spectrum would be considered Naughtistic.
Naughtistic behavior has a pattern. The Naughtistic kid does something dumb. Not only that but  they are caught red handed doing said dumb thing.The person (or their supervisor as is more often the case, which is me.) that caught them then calls them out on their dunb stuff.

The naughtistic individual will then  swear blind they didn’t do it. In fact even when confronted with video evidence of their actions they say it wasn’t them. You point out their lie, and rather than come clean they double down on their lie..  They deny it, they call you a liar. In fact they are so convincing in their protest that you actually start to question whether you did catch them. Maybe they didn’t do it, maybe you are really the naughtistic one. Maybe you are so naughtistic  you are blaming this innocent child because you are awful person that can’t do the right thing even when there seems like no other option that to do the right thing.

Then you remember that they are Naughtistic and not you. The words of a much smarter person with whom you once attended a training with rings out in your head.  “Why do people lie? Because they are liars.” That’s right the kid can’t tell the truth because he is a Liar.

Suddenly you remember you are right and they are wrong.  The world suddenly seems a safer place.

“But why would they lie about this?”  they ask you. You ask the same question to yourself. They seem pretty sure that they are right. You are wracked by doubt.
I think this is because Naughtistic youth have harnessed a part of the brain that we cannot. It is like the Jedi mind trick. They have found a way to make you think things that are not true.  They do this simply by telling you it not true.  Much like the droids. Luckily for the 1000’s of people working in juvenile treatment their skills are weak and unperfected. Unluckily for most the people of America. So are the minds of most of the child care workers in facilities like mine. It is a truly a battle of the weak willed.

Most scary of all is that the most naughtistic of kids still roam free. The ones in placement are there because there mind control skills are weak. This is how they got caught and why they are now in placement sucking up our tax dollars. Though I shouldn’t complain as these are the same tax dollars that pay my salary.
So be vigilant, I only have kids with mild Naughtisum in my care, those with much more server Naughtism would do far more naughty stuff, and their mind trick skills would be perfected, therefore they would be able to convince the police that they didn’t do it and be set free. These people are still roaming the streets trying to steal your car, women and beer.
