Many teenagers (青少年) feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They
believe that their family members, and in particular (尤其是) their parents, don't know them as well as
their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then
they can only go to their friends for advice.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they
are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This
communication is very important in children's growing up, because friends can discuss something which
is difficult to tell their fa-mily members.
However, parents often try to choose their children's friends for them. Some parents may even stop
their children from meeting their good friends. The question of "choice" is an interesting one. Have you
