Subject : Influence of Friends

Sir

Through the columns of your newspaper, I would like to highlight the importance of friends in the life of a student. We are all aware that friendship is a valuable relationship. It is a form of companionship which establishes bonding between two friends. It helps them in reducing stress as friends share problems with each other. Friendship boosts happiness. It is well said that joy is doubled and sorrow is halved if we share them with someone. But friendship can also prove to be bad as friends can have a negative impact also. Children develop vices in each other’s company. Sometimes peer pressure also leads to some bad habits. Children must realize the importance of learning from each other, they should make use of their time in a productive way. They can encourage each other and can be supportive. I request you to publish this letter in your newspaper so that children learn how to make friendship positive and productive and in turn how to stay away from the negative impact of friends.

Thanking You

Yours sincerely

Aruna
