Dear Young Parents...
...
Let's look into this..
..
Whatever mistakes you made in the past which you are still regretting at the moment and wishing you knew better earlier, or maybe you felt that Nobody taught you well when you were younger;
Just know it Now that you have a second chance to make things right.
And that Second Chance is Your Children.
Whatever You thought you Never Knew when you were younger which would have made your life better, and you know them now, then, you must teach all of them to Your Children.
Don't leave them to start learning again by themselves and end up repeating those same mistakes you made ignorantly.
If the methods which your own parents used in teaching you those same things didn't work well on you while you were growing, then, you can try and find better means of teaching them, but just make sure they learn those things which you didn't learn at an early stage.
..
Let's Save The Future Generation By Ourselves.
Let's Not Leave them at the mercy of their peers and some lazy teachers in their schools.

A wise man once said:
“To be old and wise, you first have to be young and stupid”.

The quote above may not be entirely true at all times, but it is very meaningful.

Highly doubtful.

Set realistic goals for yourself if you want your children raised a certain way. Unless you have people who are raising them for you.

Your kids are more likely to copy what they see you doing.

Turn yourself into a good parent, dont just continue being a bad parent.

OP, we're saying the same thing.

The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree

But nOT a GIRLCHILD!!!!

Remember, for a bad parent that later changed, even though the consequences of his/her past mistakes are heavy on him/her, the kids still have a chance of being good..
That is, only if the bad parent had truly repented and had decided to be good in order to raise good kids.
So, All Hope Is Not Lost.
A fruit Must Not Always End Up Growing Near It's Tree Even if it fall near it.

GOFRONT:
But nOT a GIRLCHILD!!!!

NOT ALWAYS TRUE.
There is nothing so special about a GIRLCHILD.
Therefore, there is no cause for alarm yet as far as the GIRLCHILD is concerned.

Yess..
We are saying the same thing.
If the bad parents didn't realise that their own lifestyle is bad, and they didn't change, then they have nothing to teach their children.
Therefore, the original post is mainly for parents who made lots of mistakes in the past while growing up, and the consequences of the mistakes are heavily telling on them in their present families. Once they are no more currently living the past life and continued making same mistakes again, then, the consequences of their past mistakes won't prevent their children from being as good as they have finally become in the present, and even far better than them. The consequences can only affect the atmosphere in the family, or the standard of living in the family, but definitely cannot turn the Child bad when the parents are now good parents.
Most parents these days usually believe that bad children are also part of the consequences of (or curses that followed) their past mistakes. And as a result, they gave up on such kids, and allowed them to wonder ignorantly all alone and unequipped in this dangerous world.

It may not just be as extreme as that of the Father / mother... Still the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree

I can see your points though.
I can also see the perspective from which you are viewing the topic.
Now, see if from this angle...
Lots of parents never knew that what their children are doing are what they learnt from them - the parents, and from a lot of other people around their children.
If what the children learnt from other sources remained unchecked and uncontrolled by the parents, then the parents can be seen as bad parents who left their children alone unguarded.
..
By “Bad Parents”, I never meant armed robbers, or sex hawkers, or people like that. No.. I meant normal people with normal lives that made innocent mistakes in the past and had recovered and learnt from them, but somehow, their own children didn't learn from the same mistakes just because they didn't teach their children early.
......
Well, unless you are trying to say that “Bad Behaviour Is Hereditary”, Then, I strongly doubt it.
..
Scientists proved that the "bad behaviour gene" in humans are only activated if people were neglected or abused when they were children.
