My View on the Influence on Young Adults
As a popular saying goes, "A man is known by the company he keeps". Hard-working young students, when affected by lazy and pleasure-hunting friends will become negligent of their studies. On the other hand, wrong-doers who feel guilty in the presence of their virtuous companions can often turn over a new leaf.
At the same time, the influence one's family can exert on him can't ignored. If the parents are wicked, dishonest and corrupt, it is likely that such bad traits will rub off on the young adults. Also, many scientists and statesmen owed their successes to the good upbringing their families had given them.
Personally, I think friends do most of the influencing. As one begins to have friends, family members usually become less influential. The young adults pay much more attention to their friends. A case in point is my neighbour's son. For many years my neighbour has been complaining that it is a difficult child who can't be taught by his parents. However, his son was arrested the other day for having murdered a lady. What is more, it was his friends who instigated him to kill the lady for her money. So my conclusion is: tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you what kind of man you are.
