It is often said that friends have a significant role in one's life. Some people may be opposed to this statement because there are many influential existence than friends such as parents, siblings, and teachers. However, I definitely believe that friends have a strong impact. This is because people spend much amount of time with their friends. What is more, they share all feelings with friends based on similar environment.
First of all, people are likely to spend their time with friends most. Although they are with their parents more when they are young, after entering a school, they have much more time with their friends. Especially when they are in a same school. For instance, when I was a high school student, I had a best friends who stay with me all day long. Since she and I lived in the same village, we went to school together everyday. Furthermore, we took same classes, participated in a school event and even enjoyed lunch together. Inevitably, we are absolutely intimate and had a huge effect on each other.
Also, young adults tend to feel sympathy with their friend. One important reason is that they are in same age which causes analogous interests, emotions, and thoughts. This similarities make them more understandable to their friend, which plays a essential role in forming a deep relationship. For instance, whenever I have problems and worries, I often say these to my friends. The reason why I don't tell the troubles to my parents first is that they and I have different ideas on something and they cannot understand my situation. In the end, they don't give me proper advices . However, my friends who are on the similar base with me provide more helpful consolation because they can comprehend my feelings with real sympathy.
In short, I believe that friends are the most influential being to someone. They spend a much time together as well as share all sentimental things. On the whole, I agree with the saying "A friend is the most valuable fortune". |
