Greetings fellow members of the Social Bookshelf! How are y’all doing today? The holidays are coming up and many of us will be spending time catching up with our families and relatives, so this week’s ‘Hook in the Book’ is on families. It’s interesting to explore and learn about different families! You may think a family is a typical mum+dad+children+dog=home, but we all have different situations which would impact and influence our families.
So then, let’s explore and learn about our families in this lovely community. Leave a comment below or a video response on our YouTube channel (TheSocialBookShelf) detailing who’s in your family, your current situation, view on families and what you wish for your family. Happy sharing!!!

Hi everybody! :D
I’m sitting out on the porch soaking in the warm Florida sun with my dog Sunny. :) I’m living well in a cosy family home with my mum and dad. I’m waiting for them to finish making lunch; potato salad, mini salad sandwiches and some freshly squeezed orange juice mhmmmm. :3 Today’s Sunday, and we always spend the whole day relaxing and just bonding as a family in general. Sometimes, we play baseball, go fishing or go hiking! My parent’s both have a stable job. My mum is a teacher at our local primary school and my dad is a doctor.
I think families are an important aspect to a child growing up. A parent’s actions can easily influence a child’s thoughts and actions. If we grow up in a family that is drifting apart with bad parenting, this could impact on our mental health! We could judge or think about things differently and do something bad in the future that is influenced by the past. For example, if my father was an alcoholic, then his drinking habits would probably influence me and then I will start drinking. :O I’m glad to be raised up by my mum and dad, or else I wouldn’t be enjoying and living life as I am. :)
My grandma recently broke her toe and she has been lying in bed all day. I hope she gets better soon so we can go walk Sunny together.
Well, cya guys!!! :D

Hey. I haven’t really told this to anyone, so I am going to confess a lot of what I’ve been going through here. So I’m sitting here in this Internet café, getting dirty looks from all these kids that think they are gangsters and rappers. I’ve been couch surfing for about a week now and I live off my friends. My mother walked out last year, leaving my behind with my alcoholic father, who is physically and mentally abusive to me when he is drunk.
My father is on the brink of losing his job. We have been having difficulty trying to pay the bills for months now. I finally had the courage to run away last week when he had just come through the door shouting like a hooligan. I had enough of him hurting me and insulting me.
View on families? I never really had one, so I may as well say that my family has basically ruined my life. My mum walking out has left me scars in my heart that will never heal and the bruises from my dad are a physical reminder of him. Why do I have to be the minority who have to go through this pain and misery? It’s not fair that my whole life has collapsed because of my parents.
I would like to start fresh and have parents that are caring, loving and rich. If I had parents that would actually do their jobs, I wouldn’t be sitting here in this muggy Internet café pouring out my feelings to a bunch of strangers on the Internet.
Goodbye and hope you lucky people are doing something productive with your life.

Hello everyone. My family’s not that great. My mum’s at the mental hospital and my dad is busy working hard all day to pay the bills. I have no siblings, which I don’t mind.
My current situation? Well, I’m not sure if I should really share this, but I have social anxiety. I’m fine with Internet communication, it’s just real life that I have problems with. I like to be alone, so I don’t have any friends at school. All the kids think I’m anti-social, but I’m not. I like the tranquillity and peace of being able to live without people looking at me. My dad is barely at home and he usually comes back late at night when I’m asleep. I really enjoy being home alone during the weekend because I like the house to be quiet and empty.
I don’t think I really have a family, so I don’t really have a view. Like, my mum is basically gone and I barely talk to my dad. I don’t really mind not having a family though. I like to be an individual and do everything myself. But I guess it would be easier to have a helping hand, like a mother to cook all the meals.
I wish for my mother to get well and come back home. I kind of miss her, although I don’t remember much about her. Also, I wish my dad had a better job that does not require much labour and is well paid. I feel sorry for him to have to come home so late every day.
Goodbye for now,

Wassup guyz,
Just logging in to check my stuff after a long day surfing. Yea I know, I’m cool enough to live at the coast in a fancy mansion facing the sea side. ;) My parent’s own all the shops on the sidewalk and I have a younger brother, but I don’t really care about him.
Well you know, I’m just living life comfortably. Just getting along with my everyday life surfing and checking out hot chicks at the beach. ;) Currently my parents are thinking about investing in another mansion on the coast because we have enough money for it.
We go and travel a lot so we spend a lot of time together. I guess families are pretty important. If a family wasn’t doing so well financially, then their lives will be terrible. But since we’re rich, we’re living pretty well. Money is really important, like you literally cannot function without money these days.
I don’t really have a wish for my family. We’re already living well, so what more can we ask for?
