Thank you Oriani :D

And then what does "sea" mean?

Not todo el mundo se cría dentro de un hogar nuclear, o sea, una familia con una experiencia común a todos.

O sea means " I mean" ..for example, not everybody is raised within a nuclear home, I mean, a family with a common experience for all.

O sea is used when you want to give more explaination about what you're talking about!
