How friendships can influence in someone life?

Friends can have a both, a bad and good influence, in how someone feels, thinks
and behaves.
Most of the time the first friends are in the family: the cousins. They play lots of
games like; marbles, police officers and thief’s, and hide and seek.
Then the child keeps growing and it is time to go to preschool. The first day is the
worst, there are kids crying. How are those weepers going to be friends? They are
scared because they got out of their comfort zone, there was no cousins to play with.
Over time, that does not matter, they get used to coexist, then the kids start to
exchange words, they are not strangers anymore. Sure, they can talk with their
classmates but there a certain group of kids a child feels comfortable with.
All of those are temporary friends.
The kid now is a teenager.

They can also put pressure on someone just to do something they do not want, but
the teen accepts anyway for fear of staying alone. Somebody who succumbs to peer
pressure will likely let friends influence several areas of their life including romantic
partners, trying bad things for the first time.
There are those who make feel bad at their "friends" with "funny" comments and
later tell them they should not feel that way because it was a simple joke. Normally
the only thing they do is show a smile and pretend that it did not hurt at all. One
should never made fun of other's insecurities.
Real friends are the ones who listen to you, who do not ask something in return for
their friendship, with whom one can talk without feeling ashamed because knows
they will not judge, and if the two are feeling lost, they will try to help each other, and
if suddenly they feel that something is wrong between them, they talk about what
bothers them, but they do not stay silence, waiting that the other swallows their pride
first, that is one of the main reasons why a friendship is lose.
Eventually one becomes their company, they should choose their friends wisely and
make sure of maintain friendships that will make them a better person, keeping the
toxicity away. And understand they affect their friends too. They must be a positive
influence in each other lives.
