I was here, with nothing to do, and I tought to my self:"I'm going to ask google why people change..."
Interesting answer I got...
There is many things, issues, and situations, that can cause a person to change.
A person can change, for a number of reasons, and in many different ways.
Often a person changes, from experiences he/she learns from.
All through life, you are going to learn things, from different experiences.
These different experiences, can be good or bad.
Experiences can teach you, how to deal with certain changes in your life.
Learning from different experiences, can change the way a person thinks and feels about something.
The way a person thinks, is a huge factor on his/her life, and the factor on the people around that person.
The way you act and think, effects people you are around often. If you treat people calmly with respect, they will know you truely know how to treat people the right way.
Some people don't care about respect, and they treat others, the way they want to treat them.
I am preety sure, that we all have seen people like this. If a person is careless about respect, they soon will learn how to give respect. Then they will change for the good, and take that lesson and think about it for the future.
A person can also change, mentally and physically. Good or bad, this can make a difference in the particular person and for the family of that person. For an example, when I was a child, I was very greedy and was very bratty to a lot of people. I was like that for years, until I decided to change my personality. For whatever reason why I wanted to change my personality, I am now a calmer, more polite person.
A person can change his/her appearence. Let's say one person goes on through life, not caring what he/she wears and doesn't care about looking sloppy. One time in that person's life, he/she could decide to buy neater looking clothes, and starts to care about looking neater. That person could start dressing neater, and taking more care of what he/she looks like. Later on, that person could be 100% neater looking, then 2 weeks ago. This person just change a physical out-look, on what his/her appearence. This is something other people will see, and this obviously is a change for the good.
I gave you some examples, and I hope they explained good enought. See, there's dozens of way a person can change, bad or good.
