Influences

Well, I'm sure everyone has been an influence or has been influenced by someone else. Being influenced by others can have such a great impact on our choices in life! Some of us may tell ourselves that we are not influenced by anyone, but that's wrong. We are all influenced by someone in good or bad ways. As a little kid,  grown-ups (such as your parents) influenced your life decisions, but as we get older our friends start to influence us. Maybe you have friends in school who are a bad influence and are trying to get you to do wrong things. Don't be scared to be different, be who you want to be and if people don't accept you for who you are they are not the people you should be with. It's your decision who you allow in you life and who you allow influence you.
