Fourth post, some feedbacks will be appreciated
Some people feel that youngsters get easily influenced by their friends rather than their parents. Do you agree or disagree.
Parents undoubtedly play significant role in the lives of their children. However, many believe that along with children starting to make friends at school parents’ role will be overtaken. In this essay, both of arguments will be analysed.
To begin with, when teens start to develop intimate friendship with one or a group of their peers, they actually are seeking friends who have something in common, such as interests, beliefs and habits. For instance, students at school love to hang out with one or a group of friends, from which they can explore their identities, feel accepted and develop a sense of belongingness. However, to many parents, they have this fear, which children become too preoccupied with friends may to some extent lighten their influence.
Nevertheless, in spite of how close the friendship is, parents still have the overriding influence upon their children. First of all, throughout an ordinary childhood, in which kids learn about speaking and imitate behaviours from their parents. After years, they will develop a strong tie with their families. For example, according to many autobiographies written by successful celebrities, many have political, religious and general beliefs similar to their parents and consider their parents as being highly significant and influential in their lives. Hence, it has become clear that parents have critical and irreplaceable impacts on their children. In addition, teens tend to become autonomous during adolescent period. It is believed, instead of cutting up ties with parents, they are trying to incorporate independence and maturity in order to renegotiate parent-child relationship.
In conclusion, peers play a large part in a young person’s life even while the family continues to be significant. However, parents are still the closest friends to whom children trust and love.
