Recognize peer pressure- good and bad

Decide if your friends lead you to good influences or bad.

If you question your friends motives than it is probably a bad choice.

Hang out with people who respect you instead of people who take advantage of you or disrespect you.

Don’t hang out with people who do drugs, smoke, or cut themselves.

Stay with people who make good choices and will introduce you to activities and people
