Values are built from our life experiences: what we learned at home, in school, at work, and anywhere we have spent time. Politics, religion and culture can affect our values. Those closest to us often influence our values, whether they try to do so or not. Parents and immediate family members or caregivers are often the first influence on our values, but friends, peers, teachers, and others can also have an effect. Teens and children often test or question the values that they are taught in the family as part of the normal adolescent development process, and it is possible that theirs may differ from yours.
