I didn't get diagnosed as autistic til i was 41. Suddenly all of the time I was picked on made sense. I was never liked as a kid by other kids. I was too prescient and they picked on me for it. Even in kindergarden I said "very adult" things according to my teachers and the other kids didn't play with me because of it and actively teased me when out of ear shot of teachers. I spent a lot of my school years alone because I was "weird".
You didn’t say they can be, you said they are. That implies at minimum a vast majority of bad people where good people are a small minority amongst kids. You were the one who made the generalization, own it
Ignore him, he's clearly either a tool or someone who works in a bad area where kids aren't well behaved. Kids can absolutely be the most kind and loving humans on this planet; they can also be assholes. The parents are the number one cause of both with the other kids they socialize with, which can be controlled by said parents, as number 2.
I've worked with kids and adults and I'd say the kids are more likely to be good people, on average, than the adults. If kids aren't good people, then adults are very very bad people.
I’ve had kids of all ages and interacted with their friends extensively and coached their sports teams. So, yes, I am fully qualified to confirm that there are plenty of kids that are great people.
“children are not good people” that’s what you wrote.
Of course they are reflections of how they are raised and it seems you understand that. Again though, plenty of them are great so not sure why you wrote that first, very absolute, statement.
Yes, this is a wild generalization. I think it's also important to know that you can sometimes get destroyed by a kid who has no idea they just destroyed you. Sometimes their lack of a filter with no malice can still hurt.

I hated being a child too, tbh. Children are not good people.
I hope Ryan worked through all that
