Friends have more influence than family on teenagers, because every day we see each other everywhere during the day. we see our parents only in the evening, because they work. Almost every teen has the same problems or situations in his or her life. And not every problem we can tell our parents. That's why teens ask each other about what to do in such circumstances. It's more comfortable to talk about "serious" problems to our friends. then to parents. because not every parent can understand what it means for you. We are used to listening to our friends. especially if they are older than you.
