this

essay, I will discuss the above views and posit that both

experiences

equally impact the

.

To begin

, young children learn a lot by observing their parents, guardians and in fact any adult around them.

This

is how

language skills are learnt in the home. As the saying goes, "charity begins at home", the responsibility of parents is to mentor and train the

in good, socially acceptable ethical and religious values and characters.

also

have a very big effect on the

of children. The saying "show me your friend and I will tell you who you are" indicates the importance of

. As much as our families shape who we are, friends are responsible for a big portion of whom we have become and who we will be.

This

influence

is mostly seen in teenagers who use the boarding school system or university campus hostel system.

Although

peer

can have negative influences,

for example

Therefore
