Achild today is influenced by many factors—family, friends, school, media, etc. which of these do you think has the most influence on the behaviour of schoolchildren? children of which age are most influenced by friends/by media? are these influences temporary, or do they have a long-lasting effect on a child’s personality or behaviour?

Arah is eating lunch with friends outside in the commons area of her school. one of sarah’s friends offers to share a marijuana joint with her. what could be the outcome if sarah were caught smoking marijuana at school? nothing will happen because she did not buy the joint. she could be suspended from school. nothing will happen because she is underage. the consequences would be up to sarah’s parents.
