Prompt #11

How do people come of age in different parts of the world? How do our surrounding and upbringing influence this?

     Our surroundings affect our point of views on the world. How we look at it. What we think about it. Who lives on it. By who, I'm not talking about their gender or race, but more of their personality and how they act. Of course race can act as a part of how you view the world. Growing up, however may change it. As a kid, you may feel limited to one place. You're too young to travel outside, especially alone, so you're stuck in the same neighborhood with the same people. Each neighborhood is different. What I've noticed is that, people who are alike tends to live near each other. Growing up has made me realize, there are others out there that are way different than me. Others that think completely than me. Depending on your surroundings, you might grow up to be a brave kid who always fights for yourself, or someone who completely depends on others. Growing up, that might change, or it may stay the same. That's the thing about growing up. You never know what you will end up like because your thoughts are always changing. Your views are always changing when you discover something new.
