Reflections

I think my project went pretty well. I dont think I would've done anything to change the questions i had. Honestly I don't really think I learned anything about myself in this process, I guess it was fun though.

Recommendations

In this post I want to talk about all the things my survey question didn't address. I also wanted to ask a question about how expectations for blacks and whites are most the time very different. Another thing I wanted to talk about is how blacks and whites interact with each other and how one is different than the other

Conclusion

The survey the in the chart below shows that 44% of of the people that took the survey said that they feel they are pressured a great deal by their peers to have sex, and 34% said that they were pressured some.

Topic and Goals

The topic I chose to research was how black childhood is different from white childhood. When I was growing up, I grew up around a lot of white people. And what I noticed was that the things that I did at home an got in trouble [got whoopings for] for they would do all the time and all their parents would say is ,"No no no, don't do that honey". As the years have passed its still the same way. I would never even dream of saying some things to my parents that those kids would. Also, it seemed that the white kids would get everything they asked their parents for. But i occasionally got what I wanted and just accepted what i did get. I want to get the 'White' perspective on this topic, because it's a mystery for me......
