Association Breeds Similarity

The statement is very true indeed. "You are who you associate with, look around at your closet friends and that’s who you are, if you don’t wanna be that person you know what you have to do"- Will Smith…. Powerful words... The thought of that is deep. Growing up as kids that’s something that we never think about. Think about it ,when you were young and if your parents told you they didn’t want you hanging out with a certain individual, you would get mad... but still we hung out with them anyway.
Two perfect examples. Lets start off with females first. Now lets say there are a group of friends, and out of that group of friends one of the female is known around... Lets just say she doesn’t respect herself or her body. But you still hang with her because that’s your girl. Even though you are nothing like her, people automatically think you are just like her. You get a name and then you have to try and justify that what she does has nothing to do with you and then go on with some more nonsense.
Same with dudes. Lets say one of your close friend is a dealer. And your always around him. and even though you don’t deal, in the back of peoples mind they might start thinking you deal. Now you have people looking at you and thinking this and that.
I mean who really cares what people think right. But sometimes we have to make the tough decisions of letting some of our friends go. Its something like a double standard. "You hang around snitches you get judge for that cuz you condone it, you know it aint know love for that"-Nas.....Think about it
