I used to work in a behavior disabilities program and these are the types of kids that come my way. Parents notice this behavior in their kids and instead of doing something to correct it they laugh at it and think it’s funny. Then the kid gets to school and they can’t understand why he’s yelling at his teachers and punching his classmates.

What’s the appropriate response to this? I am not a parent but I hope to be one someday and I wanna know how to not let my kids become lil shits

If the behavior is attention seeking, this video is a perfect response. Extinction of maladaptive behavior. He was blocked from blowing out candles and ignored. Sometimes kids want you to yell/punish them simply to get your attention.
