Because if you are hated, at least people *notice* you. They know 
who you are. They aren't ignoring you.

And for the unloved and ignored child, this can be an attractive 
proposition.

Yes, indeedy.It's a truism in acting that the nice characters are 
boring to play. And boring to write. And both actor and writer have 
to work really *hard* to provide a nice character with enough 
conflict that the audience don't fall asleep as well.

Being hated can give you a lot more time to do your own thing. And 
it's often much more interesting. There's a story that someone once 
asked Mother Theresa of Calcutta what was the biggest problem she 
faced in caring for the destitute and the dying. Her answer 
was 'it's so boring'.
