When I was a kid, I learnt how to speak. To the micro-environment, learning how to speak made me know and understand my close relatives, family members and my neighbors. Learning how to speak has solved disputes among us and resolved many issues between us. In the mesosystem, learning how to speak has made me have positive attitude towards my teachers since young; otherwise I would have been neglected.Learning how to speak has helped me solve issues of conflict between my parents and I. I am strongly attached to my mother than my father. In this case, when my mother is away, I relate well with my father, rather than when both are there, hence an ecological adjustment.In my socio-economic life, I have been able to work hard to earning some money to help in making a better lifestyle. Learning how to speak in this essence has made me understand my culture and love it as it is. I have been encouraged to make money by passing through some hardships in life.Learning how to speak has created influence in my parentsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ behaviors towards me. When young, parents seem caring towards you but at this age, the same parents seem to neglect you so that you may cope with life on your own.

I have suffered from small instances of depression, through letting people accept me in their community.I have had eating disorders, poor eating habits through anxiety of the fact that I am in a new environment. I have lost some of my characters by adopting my neighboursà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ characters. I have had grief and pain through loss of items to my neighbouring community. I have also had losses in my personality, I have had stress and suffered trauma out of the same. These psychological kinds of suffering made me think of a way to cope with the challenging situation, but in the actual since, I never thought of committing suicide.Coping styles.There are many styles I have been using to solve personal and interpersonal problems in my life.
