Did you know that the influence of what course children take in high school may come from what success their friends have? Lately, universities have been studying the topic of friendship and how it relates to academics. One friends success can actually motivate the child to do as good or even better than their peer. Studies have also shown that even though girls have to take the same amount of mathematics courses as boys do, they are more prone to trying to do what their friends do. Friends can challenge their peers without even realizing they're doing it.
