My Choices may affect MY LIFE!?

Hey, I'm deaf and my hearing parents decided to buy two cochlear implants for me. But, my deaf friends said that they don't need cochlear implants and rather to stay with deaf cultures. Also, they do not want to hear like normal people because that's who they are. But, I'm not sure about getting cochlear implants. There are risks and benefits. However, I have a friend who has two cochlear implants. She said that she do not regret having two cochlear implants and understand very well and doing well in the regular cles. My deaf friends are in D/HH cles which are easier and slow process of learning. I'm in the regular cles too. My friends with two cochlear implants told me that it's my decision. Should I get two Cochlear implants? If I did, few of my deaf friends will leave me and call me freak. I do not want to lose them. Also, there are few friends who have ONE cochlear implant said that I should get one because you don't need to get two implants to listen. However, my friends with two implants said that it's better to have two implants because my brain will gather more information and able to communicate with hearing people. Should I get two cochlear implants? I feel I want to go for it but, few friends will ignore me for good! What are the benefits and how does it affect me? Please do not give me silly answers. Don't say it's your choice because I want to hear your opinions
