DNA-Perks and A Curse

Jenny Frye

Since joining this blogging platform, I’ve found so many great and inspirational bloggers just like myself who come from all walks of life, who also suffer from mental illnesses themselves. They are a huge inspiration to so many by so bravely sharing their life experiences and advice through their survival story.

The good and bad effects of DNA and traits

When it comes to our DNA and genetic makeup, it can have its perks, but it can also be an undesirable curse at the same time. DNA gives each and every one of us a unique identity, separating us from the rest of the world. We are all special in our own way, with our own unique personality, talents, and traits. However, our DNA can also be a curse, as it may pass on negative traits and behaviors to our children.

I recently had a conversation with my husband about our daughter inheriting his attitude and my negative traits. It made me realize just how much our DNA, genes, and traits can also be a rotten curse. Our children have picked up both the good and the bad genes and traits, in a physical and mental aspect, from both my husband and me. Some of the bad traits are learned behaviors, influenced by social and societal factors. However, some traits are simply engraved into our DNA and genes, over which we have no control.

Passing on bad genes and traits to our kids is something that no parent wants to do. It makes parenting that much harder, as we try to navigate the challenges of raising children who have inherited negative traits. Of course, social media, societal influence, and peer pressure also play a significant role in shaping our children’s attitudes, behaviors, and choices in life.

Despite the challenges, it’s important to remember that our DNA also carries many positive traits and qualities. As parents, we can work to instill positive values and behaviors in our children, and provide them with guidance and support as they navigate the complexities of their genetic makeup and societal influences.

In the end, our DNA and genetic makeup may have its perks and its curses, but it’s up to us as parents to help our children navigate the complexities of their genetic inheritance and societal influences, and to support them in becoming the best versions of themselves. After all, our DNA may shape who we are, but it does not determine our destiny.
