Peer influences on development may outweigh parental influences. For example, most kids start smoking because their friends do, not because of their parents. Parents are important for education, discipline, responsibility, ordiliness, charitableness, and ways of interacting with authority figures; however, a child's peers control their behavior of everything else by exposing them to the habits of all f the kids around them. thus, a "good crowd" and "bad crowd," as some may call them, are very influential to how a child's behaviors and habits develop.
