Children very genuinely get this question quite often into their minds, but seldom take courage to ask this to the people around. They do ask, but only to their friends of like age, and therefore the answers do not find a strong appeal, strong enough to sustain....
Adults get past the need of such questions, for they know pretty well, that it is too late now!
The answer is ridiculously simple, but has never been too easy to put into practice!
The solution takes a lifetime, most of the times, to reach that 'safe' plateau, from where a person does not slip. (Spiritual pursuers know this far better than any others!)

Why do we get attracted towards bad things so easily?
My answer:
Just lack of perception.
For example, a student who has deeper understanding about the purpose of school education, gets the priorities right, and does not get attracted towards any of those 'temporary' pleasure items, which takes away the precious learning/study time. Instead, the student would choose a few healthy games/hobbies, that help to relax the brain/mind, and get back to studies with a stronger/fresher , energetic 'feel'... (that is how we get to hear stories of children who perform well despite being poor, reading under street-lamp, very little food, late night work to pay for fees, books etc. They get the priorities clear and right).
..
When the priorities are not 'clear', external compulsions cause mind-fatigue very easily on those 'good-non-attractive' things, and indirectly drive us to seek those bad things.
