A research team led by Joshua Rebenberg, a medical doctorate at Duke University , tracked 2,232 twins born in England and Wales between 1994 and 1995.

A survey showed that the higher the family's social status at the age of 18, the better their mental health and the higher their educational and social outcomes. The trend is not seen at age 12, and the team argues that children are affected by their family status from mid- to late-puberty.
They also found that twins grew up in the same family, yet many twins differed in their assessment of family social status. Among twins, those who valued their family status had fewer mental health problems than their siblings, and there were many patterns of learning and work training at educational institutions properly .
In addition, the mental health and social outcomes of young people are independent of the objectively assessed “real family social status”, but only by the subjective evaluation of the young people themselves to their families. The research team claims that they also found out.
In other words, if you recognize that your home is blessed during adolescence, you will grow mentally healthy and be more motivated to learn and work. 'We've found that youth perceptions of well-being can be as significant as the environmental and genetic factors shared by children in the same family,' he said.
