WHAT TO DO???

Every one has there everyday pals and people who they like to hang out with. Accassionally we get to know other people and descide to hang out with them because they are becoming our friends. This is very fun to do because we all like to have alot of friends to hang out with. However, what do we do when these people have qualities and values we dont agree with? This is a hard thing to act upon because we may really like them but we need people who will build us up not tear us down right. We cant have people lowering our asperations and dreams because they dont see eye to eye with what we may believe in. this is a difficult task to learn how to change or keep the same.

It is normal for high school students to want to fit in. They (at least me) often shift gorups quite often swiching who they eat with one day to another, who they hang out with etc... longing for what they feel is being acceptable and comfortable, wanting to be accepted by those around.People Change what they want in life, values, goals, aspertions,and beliefs depending one what the long term goal is. If we are around people who dont have the same values and goals in life, isnt it going to make it harder for ourself to keep those values and goals we originaly planed? The peoplein our lifes greatly influence the choices we make. We are constintally being told that we shoul have friends with the same values and goals. Lets face it we are all going to have to be around people some time in our lifes that dont share the same values and goals as we do. Whether we become friends with them is our choice. I think you can always be nice/friendly towards them why not? BUT if you chose to make them a close friend, we have to think what the consequences might be. If you are willing to have more temptations and maybe more obsticales and know that you will always stand strong in your beliefs then it is ok, but you also should think about if you are strong enough to hold that type of pressure. It is ok to have people who dont think the same as you do. We all believe what we believe.Just because we are, or might be challenged in our beliefs doesnt mean, Oh no run and hide! Who knows it might be there to help you grow, but if people jeperdize what you know to be true there is nothing wrong for sticking up for what you believe. The world has a lot of obsticals and areas we all could use a bit of growing in. People do influence the way we look at things. We have to be careful if we dont want to jeperdize what we believe.

There is nothing wrong with being careful with your believes. I know with the friends i chose to be around i have to be careful so i dont change o lower myself to fit their standards. It all has to do with the want to be accepted. People now-a-days have become alittle to judgemenal. This is the ripple effect that judgment has on people. Somtimes we might need to shy away from the people that make us feel uncomfortable. We shouldnt lower our selfs to hang around certain people. So be CAREFUL! :)
