Some people believe that family plays a more important role in an individual’s life, while others think that friends are more significant. I personally think friends have a more significant role for individuals compared to family. Because friends have more different perspectives that can change a person’s life.
Families are more likely to have the same opinions in one event. Consequently, the individual cannot receive different kinds of perspective to learn. In my personal experience, one time, when I want to join volleyball varsity team in school. However, my parents declined my requested, they refused to let me participate to team, because they afraid that I will get injured and will not have a well time management. On the other hand, my friends told me that sign up for the varsity team can get more chance to get to know people from other grade. The seniors can share their knowledge on applying school —— that can benefit us for the future application. Moreover, join the varsity team can not only have more extra curriculum, it can also help us to have a better life style and stronger physical health. This is a well exmaple of how different people think different. Family are more possible to have same opinion, but friends are come from different culture or family, they have more different kinds of thought.
Another argument is friends are mostly in the same age group. That can help us to have more competitiveness in a right way. For me, I am a high school students , my parents always want me to get higher grade or in a top rank in my school. Sometimes it stress me out from the pressure they gave me. Nevertheless, when my friends working hard it will automatically motivate me to work harder. In my perspective, in the same age group have a more positive impact to others. Because we are chasing the same dream and have a good study environment. Consequtnely, friends play a more significant role for a individual.
