Today I decided to listen to what my peers had to say about my topic. The first question I asked is What Effect do you think Hostile environments have on a child's development? Tyree D. said "I think it effects the outlook on life, It can make you who you are".(Doggett,Tyree period 3 personal interview may 16, 2008) I agree with him. I believe that a hostile home environment can make or break you. U can learn from it or live the same way as your parents. I asked Shaun M. The same question his response was "It makes them grow up how they their parents".(Mitchell,Shaun period 3 personal interview may 16,2008). I agree with this answer as well. I asked anonymous what she thought. She said "Some children turn out good"anonymous gave me more than a answer to my question she gave me an example of why she thought so. she told me that her cousin grew up in a hostile home environment. his mother died and he lived with his grandmother. He was always receiving beatings because they thought he was a homosexual. His grandmother would Take his money that came from his mother's death and would use it on her children. Always taking her kids to the mall for clothes and sneakers, He received clothes from the goodwill. Now that he is older he learned from his childhood. He moved out of state and has a nice car and house.(anonymous personal interview may 16,2008). Brittany R. thought that growing up in a hostile environment makes you not trust people and can become abusive to others.(Russell, Brittany per 3 personal interview may 16,2008). I agree with this strongly because I have been thorough this situation where someone lied to me when I was younger and it was very hard to trust people for a while. Anytime someone would tell me something I wouldn't even get my hopes up just look and say ok. I used to think like I will believe it when I see it. Maleik B. said something different from the others. He said it can mess you up mentally and possibly lead to suicide and drug use.(Bailey, Maleik period 3 personal interview may 16,2008). I have never met anyone who wanted to commit suicide but I have heard about it as I researched my topic. But I do know someone who went to drugs for the problem and I believe its the wrong way to go. At the moment it may make them feel good but its really dangerous and is like committing suicide slowly. One of my peers said that She thinks it confuses the child because they don't know rather to be like the parent or guardian or to learn and better from it.(Mcadory, Charlese period 3 personal interview may 16, 2008) I am in the middle with this one. I agree but then again I don't. I believe that the child doesn't really even know that he/she have a choice to be like them or be better. But on the other hand me personally I have learned from my household. I know what things I want to go through and Know how I should act as well. But everyone is different.
My next question to them was what do think is the best solution to help those who has suffered from hostile home environments? Which is my essential question. Tyree D. said that someone should sit them down and talk to them to see what steps they could take to help.(Doggett, Tyree period 3 personal interview may 16,2008). This idea might not be the best because who can sit them down and talk to them if no one in the house even cares. Tigger said to show them love and that you care embrace them . Show them that there is a better way of living.(Roberts, LyNasia period 3 personal interview may 16,2008). I think this could help if the parent or guardian is interested in making the child better or wants to improve the household. half-way house, counseling or talking to your family about it is what brittany R said.(Russell, Brittany period 3 personal interview may 16,2008). Counseling I think is a good idea but all people don't have family to talk to but if you have family you can trust then go for it. Mr. Bailey told me that he believes that foster care, live with a different family member, see a physiologist and become active in school activities.(Bailey,Maleik period 3 personal interview may 16,2008). These ideas are wonderful honestly. To be active with peers and move out of the horrible environment that you are in.
The final question was how many people do you know that live in hostile home environments? all of them except for on e knew may people who lived in hostile home environments. Someone even said that half of her friends live in these environments. So this problem is very common. I thank the people who gave me there time.
