A good friend will help you when you need them. They will listen to you and try to understand how you feel. And sometimes they really care for you. They keep all your secrets. A bad influence will backstab you when you are not looking. They will make fun of you then later they will pretend to be your friend. They make you do bad stuff like...drugs, skip school,and get into fights with your parents or real friends.They only pretend to care about you. So look and chose you friends carefully.
The importance of being yourself is that if try to impress someone that you like or impress someone that is popular then your not being yourself. Then later you'll be on drugs or alcohol to impress people next you might be all alone pregnat without anyone to count on. You still have to go to school and try and get a education then you have to drop out because of your baby. And if your a boy you might get drunk and if your driving you might crash into someone else and go into jail. Your family might stop loving you and stop trying to understand you. They might even pretend that they never had a you born. So please be yourself.
It's good to have an education because you have to read, write, and do math almost all your life. You get education at school, home, or while you shopping. Both of my parents lived in Mexico and they had to drop out from school at seventh grade to help their parents with their families.. Right now my dad i sliving as a self employeed carpenter and my mom works at dillard's cleanig the store. Both of them really wish tha they stayed in school and got a good education. But part of my family from both sides are still studying and geting a education. So if you drop out you won't get alot of money and if you do get an education and graduate you might get a good job and earn a lot of money. So get a a good education.
