End up vs end

I don't know if its correct to say the following?

1 If you act badly around your child, your child will end badly/end up badly.
2 If you act inappropriately around your kid, your kid will end up becoming a bad kid.

Which is correct? Is the first correct?

Thanks

'End up' works better here. It is more informal and fits into the informal structure of #2 especially.
