Sub : Influence of friends
Sir
This is to highlight the influence of friends on children. After their parents, its friends who influence the minds of children. They way they talk, wear clothes and behave can easily influence the thinking of children.Some of their friends may belong to rich families and flaunt their luxuries like anything or even make the innocent ones get into bad habits such as addictions.Company matters a lot and the children can’t help but affect their lives by getting influenced.Sometimes it proves disastrous and becomes the reason for a high scale revolt by children. Nevertheless this situation is not too difficult to be dealt with.If parents try to become their children's’ friends and explain the disadvantages of indulging in bad company to them,it will surely work. They can give some good instances to their children so that they themselves can keep away from bad company.Providing children with friendly environment and assuring them of their good if they stay in good company can only bring children back on the right track. The thoughts, behavior and tastes of fashion, music, television and other walks of life of the masses are often seen having a deep impact on the living of the society. I hope you will also be concerned about this sensitive matter and deem it necessary to make people aware of it through your newspaper column.
Thanking you

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
