Family: Family helps shape our personality development because you see your family on a daily basis. Your family is who you are with from the day you are born until the day you die. Your parents teach you and raise you from morals to interests. They care for you and love you everyday. The family is the first place you learn social skills and they are the very first teachers you have.
Peers: After early childhood peers start to have a larger affect on your further development. Peer groups are most influential during preteen and teenage years. Your group of friends can affect what you do and how you act as well as your future.
School: The type of school you go to, public or private can affect your behavior based on the schools rules and standards they expect you to follow on a daily basis. Your everyday school activities and the classes you take can have a huge impact on your later interests for college and a career. School s also try to instill good values in you to make you a better person and citizen.
