Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their
family members, and in particular their parents, don't know them as well as their friends do. In large families,
it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.
It is very important for teenagers to have one or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their
friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very
important in children's growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family
members.
However, parents often try to choose their children's friends for them. Some parents may even stop their
children from meeting their good friends. The question of "choice" is an interesting one. Have you ever
thought of the following questions?
Who chooses your friends? Do you choose your friends or do your friends choose you? Have you got a
