Friends are good when chosen wisely. “Good friends can help you become a better person by encouraging you to amend your ways” (Israel and Iain 3). Evil companies corrupt good morals. Parents should help teenagers select good friends especially when they are close to them. They should supervise the activities of their children to know their friends. We should not ignore our friends no matter how bad are instead we should try and change their behaviors to make them good people in the future.
“Life is always full of challenges, and sometimes the problems are too big for us to handle on our own therefore we need people whom we can reason together and manage such issues” (Israel and Iain 7). It’s wrong to ignore your friends when you are in a depression, and you do not feel like talking to anyone. Your friends can help you handle the stress better than going for alcohol or committing suicide. When God gives you a lot of wealth after a long period of a struggle, it not right to ignore your friends. Sometimes you might develop such ideas in your mind, but it is not advisable. Nothing remains permanent, at one point the wealth might end and become poor. And therefore you will need your friends to help you (Israel and Iain, 2006).
Everyone is where he or she is because of a friend. We should acknowledge our friends for their good deeds. They are there to motivate us. Observing their daily activities encourages us also to work hard and struggle to achieve our goals.

God created everyone for a purpose, and therefore we should get ready to learn from one another and also teach those who seem to have lost their ways instead of ignoring them (Israel and Iain, 2006).
