Bad company makes one bad...?

hell0 Siliguri! I am back again! well, you are 100% right- we are that what we want to be and no one can force us to be something else, if we don't want it, and that's why I also think that the bad company doesn't make us bad just because we have bad friends. we get bad then, when we become like them, when we want to imitate them. and it is really pity when some good guy turns bad, because if the friends/company he has really like him/her and respect him, then they will not force him/her to change and will accept him/her the way he/she is hope you agree with that!

hi friend, u should admit that many people goto bad when they meet bad guys. when i was young ,my parents force me not to make friends with bad guys,so i am happy to remind this because i know some bad guys went to jail,if i am a friend of them, they will pressure me to do some nuisance,then i have the same fate^_^ lol actually when i am in college , i get invovled in some nice guys, they teach me much thing, ive be mature too much thank for these good friends

I think that it all depends. Some people can hang with a bad crowd but not turn out to do bad things or be a bad person, but others get into a crowd like that and they start to change.

This is usually the case when we go with people who have bad habits. However, it still depends on us if we choose to be like them or choose to be different. Everything is related to peer pressure. If a person can easily be influenced and forced by a group of friends who have bad habits, it is better for that person to just leave the group because he/she can't stand up for him/herself.

This message from parents are specifically for KIDS not adults like us, and yes, I believe kids are easily influenced to do bad things by bad company.

Yes it certainly does, parents and elders are always right, life has taught them what is wrong and what is right.. if one mixes with drinkers, he will drink..same is true for gamblers, smokers... Thanks for sharing. Sorry for late response.. Welcome always. Cheers. Prof

I second what you say.It totally depends and it i upto the particular individual to get spoilt or to be a better person in life.But at times there are chances of the other persons influencing us. At the end of the day it just depends on the particular individual.

Let me tell you a little story. When I was a teenager, many years ago, I used to hang around with a group of others because I was lonely and had no friends. We got bored and one of the girls suggested we go to the shops and hang around down there. One of the girls went into the shops and stole some makeup, she then came out and dared one of the others to do the same. The second girl stole a pack of sweets, and then they both dared me to do it too. Guess who got caught. I was intimidated and bullied into trying to steal by those girls, they were definitely a bad crowd and at the time I wasn't old enough or experienced enough to stand up to them. You have to remember that although you have free will and you can chose who you hang around with, there are many other factors involved.

I think that everyone is an individual and can never be completely controlled or influenced by anyone else. Yeah sure there is peer pressure but i think that it is very important to stand up for yourselves and your rights beliefs friends within reason and never back down due to fear only understanding.

Peer pressure does happen even when you have gone beyond the stage when peer pressure is high, which is during our teenage years. I for one try to stay away from people who don't seem to be of good influence to me. And even if during some unavoidable instances, we must mingle with those kind of people, it doesn't really mean that we have to do what they do. Yes, you must be responsible of your pwn actions as well

i think somewhat correct those are. because if you are in a bad company you will have to response them in the same way as they are. and some time you have to follow them and even you have to copy them. Yes you are correct but there are some people who dont effect by other.and there is no affect on them of the bad company.,

you either influence them or you get influenced.

Friends do affect quite a lot. If you for example have friends who smoke, then you have a quite much bigger percent to become a smoker yourself... You could always affect the "bad" guys positively and make them "good"...

I think that children are influenced by bad companies, television companies, parents must become more aware of what they see...

I think yes bad company make someone bad.. but if you have controlled on yourself they you may avoid to yourself.. from bad habit.. i think..it is our responsibility to make us good and always far from the bad habit... have a nice day and keep mylotting always..

You are 200 % correct.But age matters.If your parents advice you that don't be friend with him or her at the age of 20 then they are wrong.If they advice you at the age of 15 or lesser than that then they are 200% correct.Because at the young age you don't know which is right.So they insist you on this more.When you mature enough then you can decide which one is good and bad ...
