In the early age of person, there is more influence by family. But as soon as becoming 
the younger, they come more contact to friends rather then family. Younger people like 
the company of their age with whom they can share their ideas, thoughts, life etc. With

Secondly, friends play an important role in our lives. They are the most important 
people who can change one's path by giving them right decision or right advice or may 
spoil the life by giving the wrong advice. Its all depends on type and nature of friends. If 
we have good friends, who can understand and knowledgeable person, they are always 
helpful to us. In the contrary, if friends are not good, then in their friendship, one can spoil 
his/her life also. I would like to give example here, how friends can more influence on 
young adults. When I was studying in the collage, there is one group, in which some boys 
are good and some are not good. Some boys are on the wrong track. I mean to say that 
they have habit of smoking, drinking etc. In that group, some boys are really nice, but 
after some time they also started smoking and drinking. Which is not good for the health. 
This makes impact on young adults.
In sum up, I would like to say that friends are the most important influence on young 
adults, rather then family because of above reasons
