students have more influence from friends than teachers Since a person was born, he develops various relationships. First, parents are the most intimate people he can contact. He can be fed and get dressed . Until he enters school , parents play the most important role in children's life. However, when people go to school, friendships are essential thing in children's life. They no longer listen to their parents' words. At school teachers, who teach academic knowledge and try to guide students to be better people, also have in depth relationship with other students. However, I think friends have more influences on each students and there are two reasons below. First, students spend more time with friends than teachers. At school ,students do many things. Not only do they concentrate on study but they also spend time hanging around with friends and taking part in club activities. From teachers, students can get lots of knowledge such as math, language, ethics and P.E. Furthermore, students get much help when they have personal problem such as family and friends. In fact, teachers do a lot to students, however, most of the time that students and teachers share is limited, which means their primary conversation is centered on academic area. Therefore, they cannot develop intimate relationships. Secondly, friends share same interests and thus they are easy to talk to. Every student have similar issues. For example , most of students are interested in boy friends or girlfriends. Friends, who have same experience can advise well. however, students have big difficulty talking about love issue with teachers. To students, teachers are still difficult to talk to about personal issues. Even if teachers have lots of information about life, students tend to follow their friends. Teachers cannot perfectly understand students mind and it prevents students from getting help from them. Time flies like an arrow and friends can share the latest fashion and new stars each other, which is hardly done by teachers. To sum up, lots of time that friends can share allows students to maintain good relationships and influence on each other , having similar interest and fun together.
