When it comes to refer to the shaping of one's personality we should firstly mention the fact that school plays an essential part, maybe more than the influence the family has. In order to confirm this statement we should consider the following arguments.
First of all, the personality of each individual begins to take form in the middle of the family and is closely connected to the education, the social status, religion or culture that the family offers. But from an early age a child begins to socialize and he comes into contact with diferent children of his age and even older, who contribute to his shaping of personality. Therefore, a first place to socialize for a child is kindergarden where he comes to meet several children of diferent behaviours and with whom
he tries to communicate in order to be able to integrate in a certain group.
Moreover, with the passing of years, a child becomes an adolescent , attending a highschool or a universiy, where he tries to belong to a group of friends and have the same concerns and hobbies as the ones in his group. He may try either to copy other friends’ personalities as he considers them the best. Then, he may want to have the same clothes and the same sum of money his friends have even if his family cannot afford it. This is a way of trying to feel equal with the others around you even if it is more important to be special in your own and impose your own way of thinking, your ideals and an unique behaviour in society.
On the other hand, at school, teachers try to do their best in order to shape student’s personalities by having special classes where they discuss several matters of social life. There are situations when during these classes students have the courage to open a conversation on subjects that they cannot talk at home because they don’t have such a close relationship with their parents like: AIDS awareness, foster ecological thinking and environmentalism, drug issues, the latest developments in computers and technology or how to combat right-wing extremism and racism. Consequently, this helps adolescents to freely express their concerns and to know how to sustain their arguments in front of other people's points of view.
But one thing I would like to point out and to conclude with is the fact that, in my opinion, the latest generations have become much more independent and uppish in the sense that they do not listen to their parent's advice and talk irrespectful to teachers. What do they try to show with this behaviour? Maybe the fact that they try to get rid of the prejudices that characterize our society and have a more modern perspective of life.

family plays a more important role role because it shapes the person's well-being:a person knows where is coming from and has a clear direction of where he is going.
