It all depends on the nature of the person in choosing friends, even though they are in a gambler's family environment, even though each child has a different nature but the role of friends in the social environment can affect a person, even though there is a term (fruit doesn't fall far from the tree) that term sometimes often pinned by people, to be the family of the gambler, the role of friends in life can be good or vice versa so it all depends on how they choose friends in their environment..
Being surrounded by bad influence friends can influence a person even if he or she grew into a good environment in their family. That's really something to be thought about in terms of behavioral process as everyone is learning new things not only from their parents, from the technology but mostly, from the surroundings and neighborhood they live at.
Indeed, the surrounding affects the most if the kids are fully exposed without any guidance from the parents, even in school you are not safe with whoever is with your kids, so better to make a good relationship with them for you to know their activities, we keep mentioning the technology and part of it is also the community that around our kids, if we want them to grow properly we need to attach ourselves with them.
Making them feel that we are just here and we will listen and understand whatever things they are trying to explore.
One thing of letting them feel that we are guiding them to the right path of life.
