Linh Nguyen Thuy TN Chieu HW2 Ver 1 One reason why young adults might be most strongly affected

cted by their friends is that young people spend much more time with their peers than with their family. Particularly, while young adults might have only a few hours with their parents after the mothers and fathers come home after work, a large proportion of teenagers hours in a day are spent outside the house as they go to school, hang out with friends, or do a part-time job. This can translate into the fact that teenagers might have more chance to communicate with their peers than with their parents; therefore, their own perspectives and lifestyles tend to be most influenced by those of their friends. Take my family for example; every member of the family has a hectic schedule: I myself go to school and attend extra classes during the day and sometimes in the evening; my parents do not arrive home until after 6 pm and may have to work over the weekend. Such schedule leaves us little time for conversations at home; therefore, instead of sharing with my parents about my issues and asking them for advice, I usually turn to my friends. Clearly, that gradually gives my buddies opinions more weight than those of my parents; indeed, I now tend to ask my friends about what they think about almost every aspect of my life: from shopping for clothes to my studies and work.
