Are preachers kids (PK) the worst??

Question

Are preachers kids (PK) the worst??

Answer 1

Because they dont want to be seen as a goody goody but really not all (PK) are like that i had a friend that was a (PK) and she wasn't bad

Answer 2

No, we are not worse. It is just that when PKs rebel, it seems more shocking.

I am a PK, who has raised two PKs. (they didn't rebel by the way, not all of us do.) I also minister in prisons and juvenile centers. There are plenty of kids who are in trouble who are not PKs.

Many of us cannot handle the stress of life in the fish bowl. Too often our parents are too busy helping others to see we are in need. Mostly I think the problem comes from people being to interested in behaviour and do not seek to know the child's heart. Ministers and their congregations basicly send a message of "just behave and don't embarass us" This does not help any child to mature into a healthy, well adjusted adult who is mature in his or her faith.

If would like to discuss this further, feel free to email me. I deal with a lot.

Answer 3

Some say yes, some say no, depends on the kid.

Answer 4

My best friend growing up was a PK and I would have to say yes! She was always getting me into trouble she was the leader I was the follower but her freakin parents blamed me for everything! It was really their perfect daughter who was the trouble maker..lol      

  I think her parents should be blamed for a lot of trouble she ended up getting into because they pushed her too much & in the wrong way. They cared too much what people thought about their family,they thought she should always be miss propper and always look perfect in her appearance...they should have realized that no one is perfect & let her make and then learn from her mistakes but instead they told her how bad & pretty much worthless she was..to this day she does her best to make them proud of her but they still treat her like she is trash.....I would say that's mighty christian of them wouldn't you?

Answer 5

No...my daughter-in-law is a preachers kid and she is one  in a million a real keeper.I feel like because preachers are thought of as being above sin that humans look at their children and judge their children harder than others and forget they are just human beings like the rest of us.Humans are very judgmental of other peoples faults and forget about their own.So I guess my answer is Not not the worst of the bunch ...just part of the bunch...and judged more harshly than others kids.

Answer 6

I think alot of people think that...but I don't necessarily think it is true.  I have a friend who is a preachers daughter and as far as I know she has always been a "good girl".

Answer 7

Studies show that, yes, preachers kids (PK) are 30% worst than the median kid.

Answer 8

while they may be prone to more rebellious behavior because of their uptight environment what probably happens is the PK gets more attention for such rebalrousing because of the parental situation.

Answer 9

I think as they grow up the are expected to be perfect b/c everyone is looking at the pastors family as a mold for perfection .SO as they get older they want to rebel and not be perfect,,,,, on the outside they can have the look of good girl or good boy, but everything else can be the opposite,,,

Answer 10

No. That's a fallacy.
