Friends have more influence than family
For sure, children love their parents and parents love them. Family
always wants the best for the child and every child should appreciate
that. Parents can always help the child, for example when the child is
making wrong decisions in life. Parents know you the best, and in my
mind, it's necessary to have you family influence the most. In the
other hand, friends, who are at the same age and who are giving you
the help with making decisions in life, can't guaratnee that their
information is the best.
When you are at young age, definitely family has more influence than
friends. You haven't found out the real and fake friends. The more you
grow, the more you get to know people and their skill of being a good
friend. When you find a good group of friends, you decide to share
secrets, hang out and improve your relationships with them. You start
to trust people more, and that is the part, when friends might come
before family does
