Robert Hansen: A Short Story
Growing up with a strict father and horrible acne wasn't easy for Robert Hansen. Robert had acne that was so bad he rarely socialized with his peers at school. With the lack of socialization, people seen him as a loner. Not only was he forced to use his right hand even though he was left handed, but he worked long hours in the family backers for no pay at all. Having very little friends or none at all would only make Robert feel even more left out.
Being alone as a kid and not having the same social experience as others could develop mental problems. Robert was obsessed with getting even with people. He even started stealing because he loved the thrill of if. Having a father that's so strict he doesn't let you do anything could take a toll

    A child’s brain development is very critical in its first 2 years. A childs brain develops dramatically during the first 2 years. “During the first two years neural fibers synapses increase at an outstanding pace. Because of developmenting neuron requires space for these cognitive structures a surprising aspect of brain growth is that as synapses form many surrounding neurons die 20-80 percent, depending on the brain region.” When a child is living in a low poverty environment it affects the child’s brain since the neurons are not being stimulated by their caregivers. Looking at a caregiver who does not interact with a child a young age the child will have less interaction with a person. This correlates with a child’s IQ.
