In the context of Oscar's story, it was very bad to be influenced by others. But, I derived my philosophy about school from Ambershay. She helped me realize that it is not optional to do my homework, but incumbent, in a way. In some ways, it is good to be a little malleable. It can be very beneficial to be influenced by the right people. But, you really have to subdue your ability to be influenced around the wrong people.
