It's the lack of consequences early on that's missing. If you give control to kids and they have no natural feedback that they can use to correct themselves, they're not going to do well. That means letting them fail stuff, get detentions, get bullying, etc. kids need to be left to fail and learn for themselves how to deal. Sure, parents need to offer support and encouragement and help out at certain times too.
