After reading and analyzing each gender diagram I think that the best one is the last bullet, “Sex, Gender, Sexuality Interlace”. In this diagram they separate the different categories and unlike the rest of the diagrams this one gets a little more descriptive under each section.
One group that I value is the FAMILY group. I have a big family. I am also the youngest girl so I get a lot of the pressure to be successful. My family has helped me and influenced me in positive ways. They have pushed me to my fullest and have helped me to be the best version of myself. Most of my family members never even made it past high school so there is a big burden on my back to pass and outdo the rest.
Another group that has helped to influence me is FUTURE/ CAREER . I’m not talented. I can’t do hair or nails. So school is really my only route. I don’t have a PLAN B. School is my only choice so this is why I have to do my best and it’s hard sometimes but when I think about my future it’s just something I have to reach.
Although my FAMILY and FUTURE/ CAREER has influenced me in many ways they have also interfered. My family can be a bit forceful so they all have their minds made up on what I’m going to do and how I’m going to live. Another thing is like I said before, my family is big so I don’t really have many friends. I feel like this causes me to be a little antisocial. My future is all I think about. Sometimes I catch myself thinking too much about it and trying to do all the right to get there plus some that I forget that I’m still a teenager and I need to live that life too. I forget that it’s okay to hang out with friends and party. And because of this I do start to feel like I’m losing myself and my youth.
