You may have all sorts of friends but sometimes friends influence you negatively or positively. When a friend encourages you to do something bad i.e. smoking this is called negative peer pressure. When your friends encourage you to do some thing good i.e. your homework this is called positive peer pressure. This makes choosing the right friends important. Sometimes cultures or your culture can influence the way you behave or what you do or say. Sometimes there are stereotypes Italians for example are very gossipy kind of people and they have large families. Wether these stereotypes are true or not are futile but still influence the child or teenager. The way your friends and culture influences you plays a momentous part in developing towards adulthood and life. Some cultures don’t allow the women to pay for a date. There is one case in Chisholm College where a student is not allowed to go to the semiformal due to her culture.

It is really a good supposition, it kind of starts toward but then, at the same time, it's going away again. And it really is good - it's got everything. It's got two good feet, it's good in the air, and there is absolutely no mimsies, or porpingtons in the face. The only bad end is that the entire product smelled too much of Broadmore's door.
