Many teenagers feel that the most impotent people in their lives are their friends．They believe that their family members，especially their parents，don’t know them as well as their friends do．In large families，it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they cart only go to their friends for advice．
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends．Even when they are not with their friends，they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone．This communietion 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 choose your friends
Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you
