Subject: Know your company
Dear Sir,
A few days ago I saw a group of teenagers at a bus stop. They were dressed casually and were perhaps waiting for their bus after their classes. Two of the boys from that group were very
noisy and rude. Within minutes, the group started laughing and passing comments on each other oblivious to the fact that they were in public. The girls were being teased by the boys and the boys were being mocked at by the girls.
The point that I want to make is that friends can have both positive and negative impact on students. For instance, there is a group of students in my colony that is often seen together in the park. However, I have seldom seen them creating a scene in public. They meet up, spend time together, laugh at jokes, but never disturb anyone.
A man is known by the company he keeps. As it is said that too many cooks spoil the broth, I feel that books and friends should be few and good.
Thanking you,
Yours truly,
Aruna Faria
