Some people think that the family is the most important influence on young adults. Other people think that friends are the most important influence on young adults. Which view do you agree with?

There is no doubt that teenage is where a child learns habits for life.

While

some argue that family plays an important role in influencing children, I believe

friends

have the most impact on an individual's life.

Firstly

time, they are communicating with

and learning new skills.

Furthermore

, teenagers learn relatively quickly compared to adults. So any behaviour by their

friends

leaves a lasting influence.

Secondly

, these days, there is a huge social pressure in friend circles.

In other words

, people want to be accepted in the

group

. They tend to behave like the

group

, regardless of the consequences.

For example

, if a person smokes, the

rather than family.
