Childhood

Parents and the way a child is raised has a lot to do with who they become once they are older. Some children grow up to become successful, other children grow up but never move up in society. They stay in one spot for the rest of their lives. These children will most likely not know what it means to live a life style where they really have to work to strive because they'll probably live the same lives their parents did. If their parents' lives are the type where they do not really need to work hard because the government is taking care of them, their children will think its just easy to live off the government.

If children grow up in a home where their parents are always arguing, usually it affects their lives. This is not to say that many people find the strength to persevere and try not to let their homelife affect them. Some people do not even know what it means for their parents to have financial problems or arguments. Are they lucky? I do not know. Maybe they are lucky but financial problems and arguments are a part of a lot of people's lives. Having this type of life style teaches you to work hard for what you have. To see that your parents struggle makes you want to do better than they did, have a better life style. It sounds mean but if you follow your parent's errors and flaws you will end up in the same situation they are living in.

Living life is all about making your own mistakes, choosing your own way. Of course your parents have some kind of influence on you whether it'd be a negative or a positive one. Choosing your own path is something everyone has to do. People's home lives affect their decision in that sometimes they think that by going against what their parents say they are not going to end up like them but in reality they might. One thing that teens nowadays do is when their parents tell them to do good in school and not do drugs, they take it as, if they listen to them they are not cool or they won't fit on or that by going against their parents their choosing their own path. The path their taking is one where they will end up dropping out of school and working in a field that they do not enjoy. Once again, that is only one possibility, maybe they already have their lives planned out and in that path, school is not important. The point is that people should live their own lives and try to not let obstacles affect them in a negative way. Sometimes, what does not kill you makes you stronger.

people are inflicted with pain throughout their lives. Whether it is physical or emotional pain - everyone has been through it. Sometimes it is hard to overcome. Some people let their pain get too into their heads, this can eventually lead to suicide. A question that I was asked once was would I rather live with physical or emotional pain for the rest of my life. The answer to this question is still something I am not completely sure of. I think that I would much rather go through physical pain for the rest of my life. Yes it will hurt to an unbearable extent but at the same time, emotional pain is something very hard to try to overcome. There is depression and emotional pain can sometimes lead to mental illnesses.

This question is one that needs to be well thought out. The person who asked me this question asked me about 2 years ago. I stll am unsure of my answer. Although emotional pain is harder to endure than physical pain, it could also be easier because the physical pain could consist of being on fire or something of that sort. So when you think about, its scary and it may seem like emotional pain would be the better option. So, physical or emotional pain?
