good influence and bad influence

I would have to say that I am a good influence most of the time, but everybody has those slip ups. I am mostly a good influence for my little cousin. He is only seven years old and is growing up fast. He wants to learn about everything. I try to teach him the good things in life and wait till he is a little older to show him the bad things in life. With his dad thou, he knows a pretty good bit of bad stuff. I feel like screaming with the way his bad is teaching him. His dad to me is bad influence some of the time. His dad is a good man to respect, but thats it. He curses infront of him and just does bad stuff in his presents. Nothing that is illegal, but stuff that just pisses me off. Sorry I got off the topic a little bit. When I was in highschool I was a good influence. I always talked to the younger kids I know. I stood up for some of the kids at the school. Hopefully, I influence them to be theirselves with the way I acted and dressed. At Hooper if you do not dress or act like them then they will see you as the "freak", but almost every school is like that. Now that I am in college I still try to be a good influence for my friend and family.
There is a huge difference between good and bad influence. I'll first explain the good side. to me a good influence is when you do not judge people based on how they dress or what they have. Good influence is when you try to help someone even if you do not kow them. That could to the simplest thing from opening a door for someone or just helping a donation. To me to be have good influence you have to be nice, helpful, and just be caring. A person who shows bravery not by stupid stuff, but for standing up for the little guy.
the bad influence is when you just curse in front of people who do not like it or is extremely rude. The other is when you do drugs infront of people who do not do it or infront of children. another bad influence is when you treat someone you love terrible and then after a while act like nothing happen. Or treat that person terrible after they raised you for most of your life. They one who party all the time is a bad habit to learn. you will never beable to study or be tired all the time.
