You start to act like the people you hang out with. I heard somewhere that you are a mix of your five closest friends and the older I've gotten the more I've see this to be true. I start to act like the people I'm around wether they are cussing like sailors or having geeking out over books. When I'm around someone for a long time I start to talk like that person and act like that person. That's why it's so important to have friends that make you better. When you are friends with a bunch of Christians then the way you all act is closer to how God's way of life. No one is perfect and Christian still mess up as much as you do but they are trying to follow God's way. I'm not saying only be friends with Christians but I am saying be friends with people who have a positive influence on you and who can help you grow closer to God. Don't hang out with people who bring you down, I know that sounds easier than it is but when people pull you into unhappiness. Now it's different if they're going through depression or a really hard time but make sure you have other positive influences.
