Many people do not realize how much their friends influence them. It is important that your close friends are friends who are going to uplift you rather than tear you down. It is almost always easier to tear someone down than it is to lift someone up. If you are hanging out with people who party and drink and disobey their parents that will rub off on you and it will become more and more difficult for you to not succumb to temptation. Listen to what verse 7 says:
“Leave the presence of a foolish person,
or you will not understand wise counsel.”
If you're spending a lot of time with foolish people, people who are doing wrong and stupid things, then you will find yourself unable and unwilling to listen to advice that people give you. You will not understand it because you will see these other people temporarily “enjoying” their foolish activities. Get away from them.
