Elder Richard G. Scott said, "You don't need to compromise your standards to be accepted by good friends. The more obedient you are . . . the more the Lord can help you overcome temptation. You can also help others because they will feel your strength. Let them know about your standards by consistently living them . . . No one intends to make serious mistakes. They come when you compromise your standards to be more accepted by others. You be the strong one. You be the leader. Choose good friends and resist peer presure together."
I love this quote. It puts things into prespective. If you choose good people to be around then you will be a better person. If you choose bad people to be around, even though you are good, they will influence how you act. It is really hard to stay strong when the people around you are not. Friends help make you who you are. My goal is to be the stronger one!
