After that I associated with good friends who concentrate on our studies
When I was in high school, there was a semester when I
spent time with friends who felt that smoking was fine, skipping classes was
fun, going to bars or night clubs was great (we were younger than 18 at that
time), and not listening to parents’ advice was cool. At first, I felt fine and
got along with them, but then my grades dropped, and my behavior was
inappropriate. I smoked and drank at their houses, and I went to the bars with
them. However, I still trued to listen to my parents. What made me keep
listening to their teaching? The answer is their hope.

What made me keep listening to their teaching

I always know by my
heart that I am parents’ hope. Thus I do not want to disappoint them. I wanted
to enter a good university, and I wanted to be “really good, not only cool.”
Thus, I realized that I did not belong to that group. I stayed away from them
afterward. After that I associated with good friends who concentrated on our
studies and my grades improved. From that event, I realized how false friends
can affect our lives.Following false friends is the easiest cause of ruin,
because false friends can tale our lives in all kinds of wrong directions. For
instance, if we spend time with friends who do not respect our parents, soon we
will not respect our parents.

good friends who concentrated on our studies
If we spend time with friends who like gambling,
roaming the streets at night, avoiding work, soon we will get used to those bad
habits and habits and follow them. Buddha categorizes false friends into four
major groups. False friends are described in detail in the four following
chapters as four major groups. False friends are described in detail in detail
in the four following chapters as four major “false friendships.” I consider
those relationships as false friendships because many times we did it without
knowing what we were doing and how badly it could affect others and ourselves.
