As i was growing up i didn't have really any positive female role models cause the women in my immediate family are old-fashioned. They never really went places, learned to drive, just enjoyed life ya know and as a result my mom has been working the same job for 30 yrs and my 35 year old sister just graduated from college and she has no kids! Their not really sociallabe people and that bothers me sometimes. I feel like i can't possibly learn any about life, women's issues, and things like that cause they don't really know anything accept shopping and cooking and i need way more than that to grow as a young black woman. I tell myself positive things everyday to boost my self-esteem and know that the Lord loves me and keeps me safe. I plan on going to college next year to better myself cause there is so much i want to know and learn about the world. I'm 25 yrs old and much of my young life got lost to the streets, depression, the wrong guy and i just want a strong positive female

Yes. However, the women in your life are positive. They might not be modern but they are postive. Working to support others and graduating college no matter the age and or number of children are non-factors.

Life's events happened to you, you are not those events. I am God's child before I'm anyone else's child, lover, neighbor etc.. A person's environment can shape them, yet if you don't like that shape, re-shape it. People do that all the time with job changes, weight changes, relationships. No different with an environment you were guided in. Those were their value that they wove into a coat that they said to you " wear this, it's who you are ". Well, you grow up, look at that coat and say "No, this coat is NOT me and does not suit me". Drop that coat off you and walk forward to discover your own sense of style. There will be those who say, "No, I put that coat on you, it's who you are, WEAR IT, you can't escape that". Those experiences of your past are part of your 'weave', you can't change that. What you can change is what 'threads' you choose to place on top of those other weaves as you move forward. As far as role models...in none in your life...find them in books, in society, in the news. Peace to you.

We are absolutely influenced and shaped by our environment. By our home environment and the area of the country we live in. You can travel to different parts of the United States and the people are so different, you could feel as though you were in a different country. Language, attitudes, views etc are all different. It is up to you to glean what is important and beneficial to you and what to throw out. It's life.... but it's neat too...

Yes we are mostly shaped by our environment. Our individual personality also has a hand in it. Look at the middle east for example. In Iraq where we are fighting at the moment, there are many many muslim hating christians. It is all because of their environment. They weren't born hating us, but because of the wars and their religious leaders many turn to terrorism. Environment has a huge effect, but personality can over come it. You are what you want to be.

For some yeah. There is an argument for both nature and nurture. But some people use their environmental situation as an excuse as to why they are not progressing in their life and that is a cop out.

there is not any doubt in that. the ambience shape the human beings and their characters. Spiritually talking it somewhat is amazingly confusing to have faith that the youngsters who born in a foul atmosphere to undesirable mothers and dads could be sturdy. undesirable atmosphere includes undesirable spirits and undesirable mothers and dads are of undesirable spirits. as a result, the youngsters born in that difficulty won't be able to be possessed via sturdy spirits. they could grow to be born culprits. instantaneous replace to a sturdy atmosphere and sturdy mothers and dads could reason sturdy variations.
