Hello, friend. You have written beautifully.

Your writeup presents a slightly different perspective on the question of who has the strongest influence on children. It raises the interesting point that a child's peers may have a stronger influence than their parents, teachers, or siblings.

You gave some good evidence to support this claim, including studies that have found that peer pressure can influence a child's decisions about risky behaviors, like smoking or drinking.

I think your write up makes a valid point that the influence of peers should not be underestimated.

I wish you all the best in this contest.
