One more question Mr. Micawber, if I say, My parents have had more impact on me than than my friends have. My sentence will be proper ?

Yes, indeed. You do understand, I hope, that it depends on the time of each verb. In your two sentences, I am presuming that both the parents and the friends are still alive and potentially still available. Other contexts will require other verb forms:
Bashar al-Assad has killed fewer citizens than Saddam Hussein did.
Bashar al-Assad has killed fewer citizens than Saddam Hussein did.
