Summary: Music has a great impact on the teenage youth. Sometimes, listening to excess amounts of negative music can be detrimental to your behavior. Listening to some genres of music and becoming addicted so early can really affect your behavior causing you to not listen to your elders; however, you may listen to your peers more.
Quote: "The results of one survey of 2760 14-to 16-year-olds in 10 different southeastern cities showed that that they listened to music an average of 40 hours per week. One Swedish study found that adolescents who developed an early interest in rock music were more likely to be influenced by their peers and less influenced by their parents than older adolescents."
Paraphrase: A survey was done on 2760 teenagers from 10 separate cities in the south-east. It showed that those kids listened to music for 40 hours a week on average. A Swedish study also discovered that children who took on to the genre of rock were probably going to be influenced by friends rather than their parents
