Childhood is a special part of life in a person's life because friendships and events leave a mark on people and on their characters in later years of their lives. It is now widely accepted in the scientific community that a person's social background and childhood is crucial in character development. "tell me who your friend is, i will tell you who you are". Friends are reflections of us. They shape our worldview in so many little ways that we may not really realise. In childhood, we may feel the need to please others to gain some sort of acceptance amongst others. The friendships we regret in our past can teach us important lessons. Pain teaches us to be more careful.
