It is often said that young adults are the society's crutial potential resource. As such lots of people wants them to be succeed. In order to succeed they have to meet good friends during their ages. Some people may be opposed to this statement because parents are the most influential person to young adults. However, I firmly believe that friends plays an significant role on young people, because they spend huge amounts of time with other friends and they want to feel like they are belong to some group.
To begin with, the amounts of time young people spend with their friends indicates that how friends are influential. As we get older and become adolescence the amount of time we spend with friends extrememly increases since we spend almost all of the day with them. It is definitely true because more and more time we spend with them more and more intimate we become. As the study conducted by 'Behavior Research Company' shows that students spend over 10 hours a day with friends from 8 A.M to 6 P.M by studying together at school and playing sports or haning out with each other. This study demonstrates that young adults are spending enormous amounts of time with friends. Accordingly, it is obvious that they have an big impact on other friends.
On top of that, young adults want to feel like they fit in some group and imitate others behavior in order to achieve this feeling. This is especially true when one friend do something unique and special others in the same group mimic its behavior. Therefore, friends plays an important role on others. For instance, one of my best friends has read one book a day since he was 7 years old. At first all of my friends in the same group tries to ignore his behavior. However as the time passes by a couple of people started to read books and finally all of my friends started to read books. Even I, one of the most extreme opposer, enjoy reading books, now. Thanks to his behavior I stopped playing computer games and I started to got A grade at school test. Consequently, friends imitate others behavior in order to feel like they belong to group.
In conclusion, I definitely agree that friends are the most crucial influence on young adults because the spend huge amounts of time with friends and they imitate others' behavior in the same group. On the whole, young students are the most significant people in a country so they need to do their best. |
