text: The first reason, is someone elses opinion can keep you from doing things you are not suppose to be doing like smoking, drinking, sneaking out, or even cheating on a test. One time, my older brother PROPER_NAME was asking me if he should sneak out, but before he asked me he asked my uncle Generic_Name and of cource he said no, so then he came to me and said, "Should I sneak out tonight?" I told him no, but he did it anyway and didn't come back until my whole family called him and told him to come back home. For him to hear all of our opinions it encouraged him to come back, so because of that he never snuck out again.
