In fact, I have changed my friend´s group a lot of times because this people were very different from me. Over all, I can´t stand falsity when a person is supposed to be my friend. I had a lot of bad experiences because I was a naive person and everything affected me.
I thought I would never found people who worth it but last summer I met one group of girls and boys and since the first time I saw them I knew that this time everything was going to be all right.
Related with values, habits and rules I think that We don´t mind their behaviour if this doesn´t affect us, I mean, nobody must ban nothing and everybody should what they want but with limits.
Beside, a very important rule in the role of a friend is not falling in love with his/her friend´s boyfriend or girlfriend, depending on the gender or on the sexual preference.Our habits are very different. We don´t mind what people think about us if somebody doesn´t like it, it´s very easy: Don´t look!
For example, I had a very special regard. A month ago It was my birthday and my friends made me a blind party in our "local" ( We call it our "home"). They told me that they couldn´t stay with me that day because they had a lot of exams and I believed them. I was very sad and suddenly my sister phoned me because She forgot her coat at "home" and She was in the high school so she asked me if I could go there and caught her coat. When I arrived, everything was dark and I couldn´t see anything. I switched on the light and all my friend were there wearing costumes.
They dressed up as clowns and as you can imagine I got embarrassed and I couldn´t stop laughting. I think It was my best birthday and I didn´t mind party or presents, I loved it because I stayed with my friends. I think that is the meaning of a peer group, I mean you don´t need anything more than your friends... ^^
Come back to the sociology perspective, related with the mechanism of social control. From an outside point of view, the one who has the higher status is who gets on well with more people from other groups. I mean, every member of the group has a very important function. For instance, one of me friends is better understanding me and problems and She keeps secrets better than others. Another friend is better telling me the truth about the bad behaviour I could have.
Eventually everybody tells what they like or dislike and all of them try to avoid things to have all a good relationship.
That´s all I can say about my peer group.
I hope you like it.
See you soon :)
