Try to proofread your essay carefully to correct spelling mistakes, such as 'infuence's', 'cognitive' instead of 'cognitve', 'campanionship' instead of 'companionship', 'futture', 'tv' instead of 'TV', etc.

When presenting arguments for both sides, make sure to provide sufficient examples and explanations to strengthen your points. Expand on how TV, friends, and music influence development and back it up with relevant examples.

Develop your points further in the body paragraphs to make your arguments more convincing. Each point should have a clear explanation and supporting examples that validate your arguments.
