A topic that nearly everyone can and probably will relate to, friends. No matter what age or gender friends are something we need; life really would just be dull without them.

We need peers for support, comfort and play; also to become a social person your first real people skills usually start with the day you make your first friend. Although many seem to come and go, we devote a lot of our time making those relationships last and stay strong. But the question, is do they hold the key to our actions?

A study shows that as society is developing the time we spend with our friends is also increasing. It shows that in the European-American culture teens spend over half of their time with friends. Obviously then our peers have very high influence on our lives.
