One of the most important factors in your teenage years is who your friends are, I've found that to be true. Often times we are around our friends more than our family and those friends we're around influence who we are, because we look up to them. Hangout with good influences and you're bound to make good decisions. Hangout with bad influences, and the decisions are almost the opposite.
No matter whether they are good or bad, your friends help make you happy for the time being. New friends will come and go and some old friends will come to stay. The friends that come to stay prove to influence your life in ways that you could never have imagined. I appreciate all the friends I've made over the years and they've helped changed who I am. Whether for better or for worse, I can't be the judge of that.
Great thoughts!
