Environmental influence

I used to believe that "environment will change people" is a big juicy crap shit! But now, not anymore.

I used to think that if one doesn't WANT to change, he wouldn't change at ANY condition. But im wrong. Not that I have change because of environmental issues. I still remember that i assured my family I will not change regardless on where I am. I kept my promise.

But I've seen too many of my friends change. In just 3 weeks, a person can change alot. From a best friend, to a brand new person that you don't seems to know him at all. There is a verse in mandarin, "ren pien huai 3 tien, pien hao 3 nien". It means, a human turn wild needs 3 days, repent needs 3 years. Indeed, i believed and truly agree now.

Now, at only 19 years of age, I've seen my junior changed so much. They started smoking and drinking. COme to think of it, I was that kind of girl that didn't even drink outside, even when im offered and sure myself that im safe. Still a NO. Maybe as time goes by, the age of becoming "wild" on my point of view gradually turning younger and younger.

This world is so sick. I understand that there are a lot lot more than what i known and seen.
