Making the Right Decision

Growing up is tough. The decisions that you make now can and will affect your life later. Even the choice of friendships. You don't want to let your morals go and let your standards go down because your friend's standards aren't as high as yours. Real friends are the ones that respect and agree with your morals. You don't want to have to worry if your friends are going to do something irresponsible or wrong. Even if you know that they have good hearts, it doesn't matter. I'm being pretty harsh, but it's true. It's easy to let things like this slip by, but then you'll become numb to the wrong-doings and possibly even conform to their beliefs. I think that this also has to do with peer pressure. You want to fit in with the "cool" group, but they (let's say) drink and they're under age. You think to yourself, "It's no big deal. It won't affect me." But what if it does? What then? One stupid decision leads to another and another and then one day, you're going to be in a big mess. And it's all because you let it slip past you. Now make the right decision.
