Family Environment Thinking about it a bit seriously you will realise that your family and the environment of the household plays a major role in your personality and your various other characteristics. The family is important because it provides love, support and a framework of values to each of its members. Family members teach each other, serve one another and share life’s joys and sorrows. Families provide a setting for personal growth. The family is the single most important influence in a child’s life. From their first moments of life, children depend on parents and family to protect them and provide for their needs. Parents and family form a child’s first relationships. The family provides all members with security, identity and values, regardless of age. When a member of the family feels insecure or unsafe, he turns to his family for help. He learns about his sense of self and gains a foundation for the rest of his life. This foundation includes the family’s values which provide the basis for his own moral code. Spending time with family shows individuals the value of love, appreciation and open communication. It is important to understand that if you don't get enough attention during your childhood you will start craving for it during your teenage years or maybe even when you are an adult. Being physical with the child or creating a fear inside the child will only make it worse for the child as he/she won't be able to discuss what's going in his/her mind and that leads to a situation where they will in a way create a set of toxic belief system that no one bothered to fix. Sometimes your own family members don't try to understand your conditions. For example, if a child is suffering from severe depression and the family believes depression is just feeling down and isn't a big deal then who will the child turn to?? Who will help him/her? If your child can't relate him/herself to his/her gender at the birth and you yourself won't try to understand them then who will?? Who will they turn to? As a family, I believe it's your responsibility to stand by your other family members and at time respect their decisions even if you don't agree with them coz in the end family is all we have. So what do you think about the importance of the family environment? How do you feel was your family environment as a child? Do you think it had a role in changing your personality or making you the person you are today? ~lucii/vashie out Please refrain from breaking the ToU or Forum CoC.
Wow dis is sum personal shits. :lol: tbh i get stressed when they give me so much attention idk why orrr it's because I'm so fücked up that I became too shy to interact with them.
My family cares a lot about me and that really helped me while growing up and they have always been there for me. Ever since I have started living alone on my own when I go home I don't interact as much as I used to coz it's not a habit anymore because of which they get worried and are always asking if there's something wrong. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE FÚCKED UP I WOULD BE IF THEY DIDN'T CARE.
I don’t talk about my childhood much, tbh. My dad left to be with his new girlfriend before I ever had a chance to know him, and my step dad worked out of town for months on end. My mother suffered from addiction, replacing one addiction with another for most of my childhood. I was shuffled from one abusive home to another, family hopping until my mom finally got clean. I did definitely have a lot of attention seeking behaviors as a teen, but moving out of the toxic environment at 18 really helped. I’m actually surprised that I am as stable and well adjusted as I am.
I can in a way relate to that.I am happy that I was raised by ny Grandparents later and they gave me a chance to become a better person and taught me everything I know.
