Sub:- Effects of Peer Influence
Sir/Madam,
I am a regular reader of the columns of your esteemed daily, and I am writing to you out of concern regarding the psychological effects of the influence of friends over students today.
We are all acquainted with the proverb, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." However, students often wrongly associate need with desperation; and this results in terrible happenings, addictions, and illicit deeds. However, this does not mean that we should not befriend any one at all. Indeed, we need friends as much as we need our family. Nevertheless, the youth must learn to identify those people who are actually care for them. Being burdened with theoretical questions and projects at school, children should be taught whom to trust, and whom to stay away from; and this only can be done only by parents and the teachers at school. Children, after all, require psychological grooming as much as they require informative knowledge.
I request you to publish this letter so that this message reaches all parents and teachers all across the country.
Thank you.
With regards,
Aruna

Subject: Influence of friends - positive and productive.
Sir/Madam,
Through the esteemed columns of your newspaper, I would like to discuss how friends can influence us in different ways. Friends are the lifelines in a person's life but they can have both positive and negative impact on the students. It depends on the person how he is selecting his friends. If you are in a good company, you will be a successful person. A good friend can guide you whenever you are in a perplexing situation. He is the one who can show you the right path. He tells you not to go on the wrong track, so that, you do not get in trouble. Moreover, if you are in a bad company, you will not be able to achieve anything in life. They will not correct you or guide you to go in the right direction. We should listen to our friends but we should not follow them blindly each person has a positive and a negative effect. So, it is totally our choice which way to opt.
I would like to conclude by saying that - A friend is noble. Friendship is divine. A true friend is really a gift of God. There are instances of a man sacrificing their lives for their friends. So, everyone should know how to choose a friend because if we have a good friend, we will be successful but if we are in a bad company, we will suffer in our lives.
Thanking you!
Yours sincerely
Aruna
