[BY M.S.T CREA TIONS) RESPECTED CHAIRPERSON, MEMBERS OF THE JURY, MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE AND MY WORTHY FRIEND, & VERY WONDERFUL MORNING TO ALL.AS PREVIOUSLY STATED 1 AM HERE TO SPEAK FOR THE MOTION. SLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER GOES THE ADAGE! BUT AT TIMES WE TEND TO BUILD GOOD AND INTIMATE RELATIONS WITH PEOPLE AROUND US, WITH THOSE WHO ARE NO WAY RELATED TO US AND WHO STAND BY US ALL THEIR LIFE- WE CALL THEM FRIENDS. A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD SAY THAT FRIENDS HAVE ‘MORE INFLUENCE THAN FAMILY ON TEENAGERS. SOME SELIEVE THAT FAMILY JS THE MOST IMPORTANT, DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT ANGLES OF THOUGHTS. I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT 1 AM MORE INFLUENCED BY FRIENDS. THERE IS NO DENYING THE FACT THAT YOUNG PEOPLE ARE MORE INFLUENCED BY THEIR FRIENDS THAN THEIR TEACHERS OR PARENTS. THEY SPEND MORE TIME WITH THEIR FRIENDS. IT 1S QUITE NATURAL FOR THEM TO GET INFLUENCED SY THE PEOPLE THEY SPEND TIME WITH.PARENTS ARE THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON CHI DURING THE FEW OF THEL LIFE BECAUSE YOUNG CHILDREN DONT GET MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO INTERACT WITH THE WorLp OUTSIDE THEIR FAMILY. WHEN THEY SEGIN TO THEIR LIFE. ‘YoUuNe CHILDREN WANT TO DRESS AND BEHAVE ‘UKE THEIR: FRIENDS. ARISTOTLE HAS DEFINED A FRIEND AS & SINGLE SOUL DWELLING IN TWO BODIES. A FRIEND IS IN FACT THE VIRTUAL MIRROR IN WHICH WE SEE OURSELVES. THE NEGATIVES AND DRAWBACKS IN OUR CHARACTER CAN BE CHISELED OUT BY OUR FRIENDS THEREBY HELPING US DEVELOP OUR PERSONALITY . WE FEEL COMFORTABLE IN OUR FRIENDS’ COMPANY. FRIENDS ARE LIKE COUNSELLORS - FRIENDS SHARE DEEPEST SECRETS WITH EACHOTHER - THE SECRETS THAT NOBODY KNOWS NOT EVEN THE FAMILY. FRIENDS FEEL RELAXED TOGETHER - THEY PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES TOGETHER, THEY SHARE SIMILAR INTERESTS AND SPEND LOTS OF TIME TOGETHER. ‘SECAUSE OF THIS TRUST DEVELOPS AND YOU DEVELOP CONFIDENCE TEENS ARE ALSO INFLUENCCED &Y FRIENDS.TEENS TEND TO HAVE & REBELLIOUS STREAK IN THEM.THEY FIND THE COMPANY OF THEIR FRIENDS MORE ATTRACTIVE BECAUSE PEOPLE OF THE SAME AGE GROUPS HAVE si NEEDS, sTS AND TASTES. PARENTS AND TEACHERS OFTEN ASSUME THE ROLE OF ADVISORS. THE HUGE GENERATION GAP BETWEEN CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS DO NOT HELP THE SITUATION EITHER. TEENAGERS TODAY HAVE ACCESS TO & LOT OF THINGS THAT Pi DIDNT HAVE WHEN THEY YOUNG. AT THIS A BOYS AND GIRLS EXPERIENCE AN IRRESISTIBLE NEED TO FIT IN WITH THEIR GROUP. THIS NEED ENCOURAGES THEM TO ADOPT THE BELIEFS AND BEHAVIORS OF THEIR FRIENDS. SINCE PARENTS AND TEACHERS DO NOT ALWAYS AGREE WITH THEM, THEY FIND SOLACE IN THE COMPANY OF THEIR FRIENDS, THERE ARE MANY REASONS FOR TEENS TO SE INFLUENCED 8Y FRIENDS. FIRSTLY THERE IS NO EMOTIONAL TORTURE WHEN THEY ARE SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS. FRIENDS ARE PEOPLE WHOM WE CAN RESORT TO GET PEACE OF ‘MIND FROM THE USUAL EMOTIONAL DRAMA STAGED BY FAMILY MEMBERS AND FEELS FREE AND COMMITTED WITH & GOOD FRIEND AROUND . ‘SECONDLY IT IS ALL ABOUT STRESS RELIEF, SPENDING A LITTLE TIME WITH OUR FRIENDS GIVES AN AURA OF ENTERING A STRESS-FREE ZONE. THE MOMENTS TAKE AWAY THE WORRIES LIKE A WHIFF OF AIR CHANGING THE COURSE OF TIME. IT IS INDISPUTABLE, THE RELATIONSHIP WITH FRIENDS IS HOLISTIC ONE, A CALL FROM A FRIEND AT TIMES OF DISTRESS MAKES US MORE RELAXED, THE BEST WAY TO MAINTAIN ANY RELATIONSHIP IS BRING IN A FRIENDLY APPROACH TO IT. THE THIRD REASON IS UNLIMITED FREEDOM PACKAGE. IN REAL LIFE, WE CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT DEFINES THE BOUNDARIES OF THE SENSE OF FREEDOM AS IT_IS SG MUCH_IMMENSE, WE CAN SHARE OUR FEELINGS-UNFILTERED AND UNREFINED TO OUR FRIENDS, THIS PACKAGE IS STRICTLY LIMITED TO FRIENDS: WE ARE WELL VERSED WITH THE MAXIM THAT & MAN IS KNOWN SY THE FRIENDS HE HAS, AND IN FACT IT IS A TRUE STATEMENT TO DEFINE FRIENDSHIP. THERE IS AN DISLIKE TO PARENTAL ADVICE TILL AN AGE, AND IF WE LOOK BACK AT THOSE TIMES, JUST OUR FRIENDS COULD ACTUALLY MAKE US DO THINGS IN & SNAP THAT OUR FAMILY BEGEED US TO DO FROM & LONG TIME. WE NEVER REACH A CONCLUSION SUT SILENTLY ENJOY THE Y SINGLE MOMENT WITH OU! ENDS IN THIS AMAZEMENT. LASTLY 1 OPINE THAT IN PAMILIES THERE 1S OFTEN COMPETITION BETWEEN SIBLINGS FOR THE PARENTS ATTENTION. YOUR SIGLING OFTEN DOBS ON YOU TO GET THE UPPER HAND. YOU SIBLING MAY HAVE TOTALLY DIFFERENT INTERESTS, BUT YOURE STUCK WITH THEM - SUT FRIENDS AND COMPATIBILITY, YOU CHOOSE. I AM CONCLUDING THIS ROUND BY COMPLETELY AGREEING TO THE STATEMENT THAT YOUNG PEOPLE ARE MORE INFLUENCED BY THEIR FRIENDS AND FRIENDS HAY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR EACH OTHER THANK U
