▶ Your Answer :
Some people believe that friends are
the most dominant influence on teenagers. However, in my opinion,
family is the superior factor influencing young adults. Moreover,
relationship between friends nowadays is getting shallow than any
before.
To begin with, family is a group which
mostly spends precious time together. To be specific, chatting about
daily life and sharing feelings are the important factors for young
adults because they are not mature enough yet and family can manage
all of these activities. The adolescent can get an advice from fully
experienced parents that will be useful in their lives while friends
cannot suggest those essential advices. From my personal experience,
I usually used to consume time with family and family gave me
millions of advices and lessons that friends could not give me and
those advices really helped me to achieve my goal. Family is the most
familiar association for adolescents to share all of their feelings
or get useful advice and therefore, family is takes most essential
part in influencing young adults.
On top of that, in this contemporary
society, the meaning or signification of ‘friend’ is becoming
weaker. With the advent of computer and television, countless number
of teenagers do not hang up with their friends while spend time
playing with electrical devices alone at home. Therefore,
relationship between friends easily gets shallow and they do not
exert an influence very much for each other. For instance, I used to
consume my time with my friends at a playground often when I was a
little kid but it is obviously hard to see the sights like that these
days. Mass media flashes out the problem of teenagers spending time
with their smart phones and not hanging out outside with friends. As
the example shows, teenagers nowadays do not attempt to consume their
time together with friends which means there are no more interaction
or correlation between friends.
In conclusion, I strongly disagree
with the statement that rriends are the most important influence on
young adults.
