Is it easy or difficult for jem and scout to change their apparent misconceptions about boo?

I believe it is difficult for jem and scout.
Boo Radley had been labeled with bad repuations by jem and scout's peers (they made up stories that boo is a ghost or even a lonely murdered).
But jem and scout later realize Boo's effort in protecting them from Bob Ewell, which eventually change their misconceptions about boo
