Family and cultural beliefs can both support or challenge your personal practices and health related beliefs. Family members can heavily influence the person you evolve into. The iBook states, “Family members may model risk behaviors and deviance or effective emotional and social skills, and they may also endow their children with genes that predispose them to certain risks” (3). Other people can also influence peoples decisions. According to the IBook, “They have a strong investment in social comparison and reflected appraisal and with meeting the demands of those considered the most popular in their peer group” (3). Peers can change people both positively and negatively. For example, peers may pressure you into dipping something unsafe, like drinking. Both in contrast, peers can also push you to be the best version of your self. It’s important to know how you hangout with. Your family or the people you live with also have a impact on your both physically and or mental health. Pressures in household like high tensions can influence how others act. “It is based on evidence from both human and animal studies that punishing experiences, such as economic pressure, have a negative effect which can take many forms, such as despondency, depression, anger, or aggression” (2). The way others act influence your actions in either a positive or negative way depending on the circumstance.

I come from a conservative background. My mothers side of the family is very republican. Typically, I wouldn’t bring up politics in a school setting but it is important to note for how my family tried to change my health related beliefs. My parents are neutral politically, however my grandparents are not. They do not support abortion in any way. When they were talking about how abortion should be banned all together a while back, I mentioned that I think that they should be legal. I voiced how I thought there is many circumstances where mothers don’t want a kid, the kid wouldn’t have a good quality life, or their parents couldn’t take care of them. My grandparents tried to pressure me into thinking abortion in all cases is terrible, but I respectfully stood my ground. I think seeing all views of thoughts on abortion was helpful for understanding why people may be against it, but I didn’t change my mind.
