    No matter what, every single day somebody is being judged and labeled. Whether or not a person is overweight, underweight, mentally challenged, we are all being judged. Furthermore, growing up in a conservative, white, Christian family, has taught me many things about how I am expected to act, as well as which actions are acceptable or unacceptable. My culture and religious views molded me into believing that it was acceptable to judge others and be intolerant of different groups of people. In my family, you were expected to wait until married to have sex, then it was appropriate to have a child.…

Other stresses can be dealing with medical personnel on a more regular basis, breastfeeding, baby care, and at times a constantly crying infant (Razurel, Kaiser, Sellenet, &Epiney, 2013).…
