Conduct disorder is diagnosed when children or adolescents show an ongoing pattern of aggression toward others, including property destruction, bullying, fighting, being cruel to animals, and shoplifting. The major characteristic of the disorder is the violation of social norms and the rights of others.²⁰ Youth with conduct disorder violate these social norms at home, at school, and with peers. These are the kids who often start fights, bully others, skip school, have frequent suspensions on their record, drop out of school, run away, ignore curfews, end up as discipline problems, and at juvenile detention centers. Children with conduct disorders are more apt to become injured and often have trouble with family and peer relationships. Conduct disorders frequently co-occur with depression, but the depression is rarely diagnosed in these cases because the conduct issues are more prominent.
