From birth people’s brain is capable to easily gain information.

People are learning from different

recourses and in different ways. During childhood some children are most likely to imitate their
teachers' behavior, while others are learning from their peers and friends. Teachers play a big role in our
lives. They are responsible for educating and developing the future generation. Friends play a significant
role in the one's life. And an important question is emerging, whether students learn better from their
friends or from the people who are at a higher level, such as teachers. In my opinion they learn better
from their friends.

Firstly, people that are from the same level have the same way of thinking and the same experience. If
we speak about intentional learning, in other words if a person decides to learn or understand
something and is failing, the help of a friend with the same age and experience would be the most
useful. Overtime people's way of thinking is continuously changing. The life is unstoppably developing
and the difference between people’s way of thinking is becoming more apparent. Thus, it becomes
more difficult for people with difference of ten years to understand each other. Therefore a fifteen year
old person is most likely to understand and learn from his friend , rather that from others. For instance
once I was trying to get ready for the chemistry exam and I just couldn’t understand the way of solving
of a certain problem. I referred to my teacher for help and he did his best to explain the way of solution,
but he didn’t succeed in doing so. Then my friend decided to help me and used a complete different way
of explaining it to me and I finally understood everything.

Secondly, our peers have bigger influence on us than someone else. Without any doubt everyone in
their lives have had an experience concerning a desire of having something that others have. Such as,
having the same cell phone or buying clothes from the same shop. Last year our whole school was
wearing the same kind of shoes just because it was cool. Therefore it proves that the opinion and
consequence of steps of peers are more valuable. Thus, they have bigger influence on us and we are
most likely to follow our friends' lead and learn things such as what to wear or how to behave in certain
situations. This usually happens in subconscious level, to put it in another way we get influenced by our
friends more often and don't even sometimes realize it. We don’t always understand how this process
works , it happens by itself.

To sum up, although we get influenced both from our peers and people who are in a higher level, we are
most likely to learn better and quicker from people who are at the same age as us. One of the reasons is
that people learn twice as quicker and better from people who have the same way of thinking and
experience and the other is that our friends play a much bigger role in our lives than our teachers do.
