Sometimes, a person can be on the difficult side simply because of how their brain is wired. So, it's not always something intentional on their part. I learned a lot about that not only from my own child that has dyslexia, but by teaching children that had that, and adhd and were on the mild autism spectrum. Unfortunately, when I was a young child many of these children were considered dicipline problems and intead of being helped they were treated badly and often punished.
