What causes some kids to become ‘bad’ though they’ve been raised with good parenting skills?

I know there are a lot of parenting books out there, child psychology books, baby and me, etc. I know there are psychological theories about the stages that a child goes through when growing up, and I am a firm believer of it. Do any parents agree? And the ones that do, do you find the books helpful? And the ones that don’t, why? I talked to my mom, and she told me that she never read any of those books, and well I turned out just fine! I’m going to medical school and going to be a doctor soon.

Like I hear people say that “that kid is just too smart.”
Or is it parenting skills that determine how smart someone becomes. Not just parenting skills but parents being ideal role models like parents who are always reading, always having intellectual conversations, parents who give weekly pep talks, etc. etc.
I’m a nice guy but I’m not the smartest guy in the world and I attribute it to my parents. They are not the smartest people themselves, they’re not the most hard working, stuff like that.
What do you think.
