I hang out with friends often and they are all very close to me. But my parents think some of them are a bad influence on me because I do not study all the time. They also think I have many distractions. How can I explain to them that my friends are good and that they are my world? I’m in Class X.
You are in an age when you feel that friends are the only important people in your life, and that going against them will affect you. I hope you accept the fact that your parents are also your well-wishers. While friends are very important in anyone’s life, you are also susceptible to more distractions when you are with them. It is very important to choose the right set of friends. It is always said that you can tell a lot about a person based on their friends. You have to think about your parents’ concerns as well. They are concerned about your future and feel you must not regret your actions later. You can always be in the company of good friends. You need to gain the confidence of your parents and do your best. Parents also must be open for discussions, and children need to be socially connected and know their boundaries. With an open mind, discuss with them their concerns and see what best you can do to accommodate them; avoid confrontation. Understand your priorities and act accordingly.
