“Your companions are like the buttons on an elevator. They will either take you up or they will take you down.” This is something that people need to realize yet we sometimes don’t realize. It is not as though we have no choice in the matter either. We have to make decisions about the kind of people we want to be around. Choosing the wrong people can lead to terrible consequences.While growing up I was faced with the task of making good friends that I can rely on in numerous ways. I was lucky enough to learn from my one friend’s mistakes. He got in with the wrong group of people. Over time he began doing different, bad things and he didn’t even realize it wasn’t right. I saw what happened to him and have tried ever since not to fall into that trap of peer pressure. Then there’s the other consequence. That is, choosing friends wisely and having a life companion that you can trust and rely on to help you in times of need and support you whenever you need a helping hand.In conclusion, the friends you choose have a dramatic effect on your life. Although making the right decisions are sometimes not easy, we all want to make them. Being mature and thinking about the consequences will enable us to choose worthy companions and to hopefully lead to a good life....
