Study Sheet 1.2.3 Study: Influences on Mental and Emotional Health Name: Nikaansh S. Health Date: 7/7/22 Influences on Mental and Emotional Health Describe how your family can have a positive effect on your mental and emotional health. Most of the time your family is always there to support you. For example, if you recently lost a loved one, your family would be affected too, but instead of being in their own sadness, they would also try and lift you up. At the same time they can sympathize with you and understand your pain. This is the cause for many other things, for example, if you just went through a breakup or you are under a lot of stress from school, they can help you out. Peer Pressure List three examples of positive and negative peer pressure.

Social Networking Describe a way social media could harm someone’s mental health: Someone can be bullied online intentionally or unintentionally which can be harmful towards their mental health. One example is if a person sent a picture of them to their friend telling them not to show anyone else.
