I would say that the only thing that the people in my high school influenced me on the most was popular music and maybe sometimes soft drinks; these were mostly the students. People especially students tend to do things that other people are doing just because the other people are doing it. Like for instance, if a certain kind of music came out and everyone in school was listening to it and I was asked if I had heard it before and I responded no, their reaction would be like “Are you serious?” or “I can’t believe you haven’t heard that song” and that instantly would make me want to listen to that particular song and I would listen to it and in most instances, I would like the song. It was pretty much the same thing for soft drinks. If I hadn’t tasted a particular kind of drink and asked if I had, and my response was no, then I was either told that I was missing out or I needed to try it. I would eventually try it and in most instances like it.
