Why is one of my children a monster while the other three are fine?

Question: my 11 year old son has in the past three months broken miss 7's arm &given her a black eye, he has given miss 6 two black eyes, he is rude, refuses to do as he is asked, he is a nasty troublemaker, and he even still throws temper tantrums (foetal position screaming). He cannot/will not keep himself or his belongings tidy, & he is obssessed with video/computer games. Overall his nasty mouth & attitudes have caused him to always have few friends & he is often excluded from family activities through his own choice. I used to blame myself, but as my other 3 kids are getting older I am starting to realise that he is just different and always has been. Any ideas on what is wrong with him or how I can help him?

Answers:
Have you tried beating him? Worked for me.

If your child has only recently started acting out behaviorally is there something that triggered it? Such as a death in the family, another child getting more attention, or just a major change in the family unit? Have you tried talking to your child about why he is so angry inside and let him know you love him and are there to help him. Also their could be a possibility of mental health issues. This could be handled through counseling and medication managment. Usually when children act out its because they cant verbalize their feelings and choose to show their unhappiness through aggression. Also his inappropriate behavior should not be ignored and dealt with appropriately.
