Six reasons for bad grades

Reason 5

Belligerence

(high scores on the RSMP® scale for vengeance)

Argumentative behavior is a major cause of a person falling short of their potential throughout the lifespan. These people easily make enemies out of potential friends. Belligerent school children get into argumentative situations on the playground, in the school cafeteria, in school hallways, school restrooms, or even in the classroom.

These students probably do best in competitive or competitive situations. If a school child is inappropriately combative, parents and psychologists should make clear to him or her the difference between socially appropriate competition and inappropriate aggression or confrontation.

Some (not all) students with high RSMP scores for revenge exhibit an aggression problem.

Reason 6

Lack of sense of responsibility

(low scores on the RSMP® scale for honor).
