"You must work hard to become an individual: from the moment you are born you are being molded by your parents and their ideas. As you get older there are many more who will try to make you like them (peer pressure) and think like them. To become an individual you must break free from what you are taught, think about why you believe what you are taught to be true, what your thoughts are about the things you are taught and then decide for yourself what you believe in and why you believe it. I am not saying that everything a parent teaches is a bad thing but I have met children who will give you "their" opinion about something and have it come word for word out of their parents mouth. This is why I believe that there are so many racist, bigots (and I apologize for making this classification) in the world. A child learns hatred directly from the people they know best, their parents. Some children break free and become individuals later in life with different beliefs while some grow to be racists without reason, other than that is what their parents taught them."
