Family Matters

The GYD's "Your .02" question (a weekly poll) this week on our web site has yielded some interesting, and surprising (at least in my estimation) results.

The question:

"What or whom has the biggest influence on young people?"

The items to choose from - Television, family, the Internet, the church, friends. As of this afternoon, the results looked like this:

Television - 21.98%
Family - 14.29%
The Internet - 6.59%
The church - 16.48%
Friends - 40.66%

I was very surprised that "family" has scored as low as it has. Doesn't a family's influence affect, either positively or negatively, every other one of these items' effect on kids?
