Bad association
"People are like sponges, they tend to absorb everything thing around them", that was the simple truth that I ignored. I was raised up by a godly parents who inculcated good morals in my life. they set standards for me as their child .
Most times I viewed them as being too strict, and to be my parents are dictators. The more I grow up, the more freedom I gained from my parents. With that I felt I've been relieved from bondage.
I started mingling with my peers and gradually embracing their lifestyle. Most of them are wayward, and views double life as the best way of living.
I disgust their lifestyle but I want to fit in, so I continue associating with them. I keep telling myself that they can't change me. But to my surprise I was drifting away and adopting their lifestyle. I finally got into trouble, but they all abandoned me and I was left to bear the consequences of my action.
Oh how I wish I never give in to their pressure .
Lessons learnt: he that is walking with the wise person will become wise, but he that is working with the stupid will fare badly
