Помогите найти или сочинить текст на английском ''Что больше влияет на подростка друзья или родители''

Teens require a certain amount of independence. But that doesn't mean they should have free rein. Adolescents aren't exactly known for their good decision-making, and parents need to impose some boundaries. When rules are broken and friends are involved, there need to be consequences — reasonable ones. Rather than trying to break up a friendship, parents might want to "ground" a teen's social life, allowing the child to see friends at home under watchful parental eyes but not to go out with them.

================
The importance of friends to teenagers is well known. Teens often describe their best friends as the ones who “understand exactly how I feel and will stick by me no matter what.” Because teens are maturing, they are able to understand how complicated personalities can be allowing for more tolerance and acceptance when friends don’t agree on everything.

Parents have a role in helping their teen develop healthy social friendships. The first is to remain close to your adolescent. Probably the most important thing a parent can do is to keep a strong bond with their teen through the teen years. A close relationship with parents is the best insurance the young person will choose friends parents appreciate. It also helps the teen resist negative peer pressure. Even if they say otherwise, these young adults want and need the security of knowing that parents are there for them.
