I’m writing to report you the recent actions about my classmate Jon. I am in disbelief saw him giving out significant money to schoolmates so that they will call him ‘’big brother’’. I’m really concerned about his behavior. I think his attitude of value should be corrected.
Actually, Jon was my good friend before. He was pressured to share anything about himself with me like the relationship with family and what how he was recently. But one day, he changed a lot. He started to far away from me and show off his material items to other classmates in order to attract their attentions. After that I analyze possible reasons for his action. In the first place, Jon is a single child and he always feel lonely since his parents spend most of time on working, but less on him. Therefore he wants more friends to accompany him. At the beginning, he was giving away gifts to classmates and it made him become more and more popular among classmates. Perhaps he has enjoyed in this feeling and which money can keep helping him to gain more respects and admirations.
In the second place, Jon is a shy and reserved person around people. So he regard material item as a tool to help him to be easier in making friends.
If nobody stops his action, I afraid that it will causes many potential problems.
Firstly, Jon has addicted to his ‘big brother’ image. In this case, he is possible to acquire more money for maintaining the relationship with friends. As result, he would face the financial issue in the future. More worse, he use some devious methods to keep accessing money.
In addition, Jon’s behavior could influence other schoolmates to follow suits. They may also spend lots of money on purchasing brand name items like bags shoes and glasses. It is because they think it can increase their popularity.
Furthermore, paying too much attentions on searching material items will distract schoolmates from their revision. Therefore, their academic performance will be influenced.
