A good friend is someone who is loyal, makes you hapy during the sad times, helps you during tough times, always are keeping you out of trouble, and is someone you can talk to about anything to get advice from. Bad influences are people who get you into trouble, don't care what you are doing, push you to do bad things. They are always causing trouble, talking behind your back, miss treating you, and are always gone in a second when something bad happens. These are the things to look for in your friends. See what kind of friends you have, and ask yourself, if I keep on hanging out with them what kind of friend am I.

I think it is important to be yourself because you are unique in your own way. There has never been anyone like you so why would you ever want to be like someone else? If people like you they should like you for who you are not what someone else is. You shouldn't have to change for anyone or to hang out with a certain group. Also I think you should be yourself because if you are not all it makes you is a follower. If you are a follower you just are acting that someone you are not, and you shouldn't do that. You should care and apreciate all that you have because nobody else has what you have because you are the only person that can be you.

I think it is important to get an education because without it you wouldn't be able to get a very good, well paying job. I also think it is important because you need to know certain things to do simple things like pay for food. I think if you can stay in school and go to college it would be the best thing to do so you can be educated, and get a nice job. Even if you don't want a nice job if whatever you do fails, you will always know that you have a good education to fall back on. Even if you cant attend school you can still learn things from family members or anybody who has gone to school, or has some what of an education. I think if you are in school and have the chance you should try you best to have a good education, and to get smarter so you can live your life without any of those problems that other people have. Some people have problems like not being able to pay bills since they don't have a job to get the money, or education to get a well paying job without having an education. So try your best in school so you can live a nice life.
