For example, family stresses like money issues “One of the models for thinking about how economic factors in-
fluence families is called the family stress model. Research on 
the family stress model goes back to the 1930s, and has since 
been well replicated using many samples from diverse back-
grounds. It is based on evidence from both human and animal 
studies that punishing experiences, such as economic pres-
sure, have a negative effect which can take many forms, such 
as despondency, depression, anger, or aggression.” (Pg 2 section 4.1)
Another big influencer can be the culture you experience through your peers. Peers defined as “a person who is equal to another in abilities, qualifications, age, background, and social status.”( pg 3 section 4.1)
These people can have very large influences on your life. According to a study “6th graders in North Carolina placed 
in this setting had twice the risk of subsequently being sus-
pended in the next year for drug use, compared with other sus-
pended youth. Another study, of adolescents incarcerated in 
Florida, showed that those placed in cells with peers convicted 
of drug-related crimes had a significantly higher likelihood of 
subsequently being arrested for a drug-related crime them-
selves than youth placed in other cells. The effects are similar 
for sex offenses, assault, larceny, and burglary.” (pg 5 section 4.1)

There was this time that I went vegetarian for about three months because one of my good friends was. I guess you could say it was a positive influence but it didn’t last very long. To be honest I got bored with it. ]]> 2019-05-08 12:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/erin_myers1/b33pzebd2yat/wish/357998573
