Power Of Friends

Friends, "Barkadas", "Tropa" or the Peer group is the most effective agent of socialization for me. Because as a teenager, you were on the same age, likes, dislikes, and trip in life. You can understand easily in any conversations. You share the same thoughts and ideas. I think that half of your personality came from your family and the rest from your friends. Although when you were younger, your family yields you up, molds your character and values in the way they like, the power of friends can change all your bad traits to good traits and unfortunately vice versa. In a good side, the power of friends is very helpful especially when a bad guy joins with a group of good guys. The good guys can partly change the lifestyle of the bad guy. It maybe avoiding to different vices or totally stop what he had used to. Unfortunately, in other case is involving of youths to different vices. When they were younger, they were tame, no vices and want only to study. But after growing up with a bad circle of friends, they became wild, cut classes and trying to discover different things like illegal drugs. These scenarios prove that peer groups can manifest the lifestyle of every person. Circles of friends can totally affect your values and principle in life.
