Since all people rethink about their youth, they can easily find at least one thankful teacher who led their life to right way by various methods. In my case, my high school main teacher gave me lots of advise about my future and helped me choosing appropriate university. However, although teachers can affect their students like this, it can be denied that peer is the most influential one for other teenagers by two reasons: Spending incredible amount of time together, and feeling sense of kinship.
In fact, teens are spending their whole school time together. Especially, in Korea, students have lots of time stay in school and study. When students grow up and become high school students, time in school with other students becomes the maximum. At 8 o’ clock, the self-study time begins and at 10 o’clock finally the school ends. For almost 14 hours, teenagers spend time with their friends in same class room because in Korea, changing the classes is rarely happened in high school and all students are assigned to certain classes, for example, class 1, class 2 and so on. Therefore, it is easily predictable that by studying, resting and doing other extraordinary activities in the same classes, students couldn’t help but be influenced by their classmates, ‘friends’.
Furthermore, often students are less influenced by professors than their friends due to the fact that on one hand, they relate to their friends but on the other hand, they often feel the spirit of insubordination from their teachers. Most youth reach puberty during their student age. Therefore, in their school time, they often confuse about their lives or future, dislike the school system being filled with lots of test and score, refuse the advice of their teachers for disobeying, and only trust their friends. Students affect from their friends because they think that their friends are the only one who spend same hard time with them, feel the same confusion and experience the identical problem. Therefore, they tend to do same with their friends, follow their behavior and not to obey to their teachers.
Of course, during the lifetime, it can be noticed that certain people can’t be there now if they don’t have the right guidance of their teachers because teachers often offer appropriate device coming from their great amount of experience. However, due to the amount of time and sharing feeling, students more easily undergo effect from their friends. |
