I believe that everyone is born normal. Normal being neutral feelings and thoughts. When babies turn into children they get to the point where their feelings are more advanced and understandable than before. During the teenager years, attitudes change, thoughts change, friendships, and experiences change. When I first became a teenager I thought that life was A-OK, but I turned out to be oh so wrong. My middle school years were the worst years of my life because I realized who other were and how they had changed. Not everyone changed into a great person and that realization startled me. It was weird to think about how not everyone in the world has good intentions and good thought towards others. Many people make mistakes, me being one of them, and mistakes aren't always a bad thing. Mistakes can help you further understand yourself and others and what you can do to improve your daily life.
When I was younger I would always be forced to go to church because my parents couldn't just leave me at home. When I sat in church I would always want to know the time and when it would be over, or I would want to talk and go play with my friends. One day I actually listened to a sermon my priest was presenting to us and it not only changed my way of viewing others, but it changed the way I viewed myself. I can't really say that my parents have led me to believe these things because they have totally different opinions about things like this and I rarely discuss topics like this with them.
