how does the enviroment influence you?

I was born here in the city and so I have seen everything change. Like the technology and school learnings. I have seen how my friends change and how we grow up time after time and every time the things we have for our own goods get easier and bigger. The environment can change everything. Like fashion when there are new shoes and everyone wants them and I get influenced and want does shoes. Also when something happens and all my classmates have the same attitude maybe angry, sad or happy I also get influenced by the moods of the people. We have to get adapted to our environment because if we don´t then we will be rejected to society. It´s good to be different but always normal because some people don´t get the meaning of it and they get rejected and bad influenced by the society and that’s not good.
