In high School we usually find it hard to do without friends. That’s why we end up hanging out with bad friends as we try to avoid being lonely.

Hanging out with bad friends can change the way teachers and elders see you since they say birds of a feather flock together. However I say in high school you don’t need good friends, all you need is to stick to your goals. Here are some tips to remain good while hanging out with bad friends.

1. Be obstinate

If you are obstinate you will be able to stick to your goals. Bad friends won’t be able to trick you to do bad things that are against you. Instead they might be the one who change their direction and follow you.

2.Minimise going out or visiting friends

Avoid going out or visiting bad friends because it can make you feel interested in what they do. Spending a lot of time with bad friends can make you forget about your goals and make you go astray. It can also change your behaviour and make you more like them.

3.Try to spend a little time with your elders

If you spend a little time with your elders you be able to know your friends hasn’t influenced you with their bad behaviour. Elders are always honest and straight forward if you’ve changed they will tell you then you’ll be able to know what to do next. It’s either you step back and focus on your goals or you focus on your friends and destroy future and tarnish your dignity.
