Friends are the most important influence on young adults. AGREE? DISAGREE? |
As growing, youths are influenced by a number of people:especially parents, teachers and friends. Parents play a pivotal role in yount adults' personality formation and teachers help youths choose life-long career. I ,however, believe that friends give the biggest impact on youngsters' life. The rationale behind this is that young adults spend lots of time with their friends. What's more, friends exercise peer pressure. For one, friends significantly influence on young adults because they spend most of their time together. When young, children prefer to be with their parents. As entering high school,however,young adults inevitably spend most of the day time in school with friends. On contrary, they spend reletively less time in home with family. Thus, youths mainly talk with their friends not with any others. For instance, when I was a senior in high school, I had to stay all day long in school with friends to prepare for the college enterance exams:SAT and AP. Thus, whenever I faced some troubles I tended to consult them with my friends and listend to their advice. This was because my friends and I spent almost a day together and they understood me better than my parents did. Hence, It's obvious that my friends were a huge influence on me in my adolescence. Futhermore, young adults are mainly affected by their friends as they exercise peer pressure. As youngsters become teenagers, they want to be popular. To win more recognition and popularity, young adults do whatever their peers think "cool" such as drinking alcochol. This is because when they do not do such things, youngsters feel that they are not in the "right group". To illustrate this, my younger sister Jessica is a typical teenager in the U.S and she's a cheer leader in highschool. Jessy always persist in wearing short skirts. My mom often advise her not to wear skirts because of their negative impact on her health. Jessy,however, never listen to mom because she thinks that wearing such fabulous clothes looks "cool" in front of her friends and it is something that she has to do to keep up her popularity. In conclusion, there a numerous people who give significant impact on young adults life.Of course, for some people teachers, parents and others can be the biggest influence. However, I believe that at least for most people,friends are the biggest influence considering all I metioned .above. |
