When the basic human trait of interaction is tampered with by a child's parent, the result can be fatal for the child's future. Negativity and pessimism will cloud the child's thoughts and feelings toward other people. There might be minimal damage; the occasional "school is pointless" or "this is impossible" mindset. But sometimes the child might see literally everything as a bad thing. Everything that happens to them is escalated in their mind as the worst possible thing that could have happened and they sometimes don't see a point in living anymore. This also affects the people around this person. Other people might take this developed pessimism as an insult and the child could get in trouble for being rude. Friends might become hurt by how isolated this person has become from everyone and turn their back on that friend, leaving this depressed child completely alone. This would escalate their depression even further and highten their chance at committing suicide.
