How do family and friends influence our coming of age?

                Well our family influence our coming of age because they expect you to do whatever they want you to do. And family can judge you sometimes. They care about everything that happens in your life. Your friends are your life. You actually go to school to see them. They sometimes do the wrong thing and you follow in their footsteps and that’s how it’s supposed to be. You make mistakes then you regret them. But every teen goes through depression at some point of their life, and sometimes drugs too. Yea its true your friends influence you but sometimes that’s a good thing and sometimes it’s a bad thing. People do drugs to act cool but there isn’t anything about smoking that’s cool. You’re actually killing yourself. Both are important to your friends and family but sometimes you have to make your own decisions.

Influence

Never give up

Find what you are looking for

Live up to your expectations

U are who you are

Expect the unexpected

Nobody’s perfect

Care about others

Expect that you are yourself
