Who Influences Teenagers?

　　“Teenager” means people from 13 to 19 years old. Although they're young they have to make many important choices by themselves. They need to think about questions like these: Should I go to college? What kind of job do I want? However other people also influence their choices. Who influences teenagers? Teenagers were asked this question and here's what they said.

　　It depends on the kind of choice. When teenagers buy things friends are the most important influence. This is especially true for clothes and music. TV shows advertisements and parents also influence teenagers. In more serious things parents are probably the most important influence. Some teenagers say it's best to regard both parents and friends as influences. James a seventeen-year-old boy says “He's just a crazy man ” he also says “parents are really important because they can tell you what's right and what's wrong.”

　　But teenagers also feel they need to make their own choices. As one teenage girl said “If our parents don't let us make our own choices maybe in the future we won't know how to do it. “ And they feel friends can often be a big help especially because friends sometimes know more about their situation (处境) than their parents do.

　　Do you depend on parents or others when you decide what to do and how to do it? Whoever (不论谁) you depend on the correct choice is the most important. Your future is in your hand.
