There is repeated and persistent behavior in which the youngster violates the rights of others, or violates norms or rules appropriate to his or her age. This behavior occurs in all aspects of the child's life. Physical aggression is common. This is seen as cruelty to other people or animals, and by vandalism. Stealing, lying and cheating are also common behaviors. Often a youngster with this disorder is truant from school, and may run away from home. Regular use of tobacco, liquer or drugs and early sexual activity also occurs with frequency. Self esteem is uaually low, though the person may give the appearance of being "tough." Children and adolescents with this disorder are often labeled as "bad" or "delinquents" instead as being viewed as ill. It is estimated that about 6-16 percent of males and 2-9 percent of females under the age of 18 have this disorder. Signs of Conduct Disorder:
