Are you in a bad crowd?

Learn to make good friends for life

Your thoughts (29)

Hey girl,

Do you think you might be in bad crowd right now, hanging with people who aren’t really your friends?

Spending time with the wrong crowd can have a negative effect on your life. It’s important to surround yourself with positive people who let you be yourself and can encourage and support you.

So how do you move out of a bad crowd and into a good crowd? Here’s some tips to help:

  • Recognise what a bad crowd looks like. If you hang out with people who laugh at you, put you down and make you feel bad about yourself, then you’re in a bad crowd.
  • Look for friends who are forgiving and accept you for who you are. No one is perfect and sometimes you may hurt a friend or break their trust. A real friend will forgive you and want to move forward.
  • Recognise what a good crowd looks like. Good friends are people who you love and trust and who support you throughout. They’ll also help you to avoid making bad decisions and won’t pressure you to do things you don’t want to do.
  • Learn to look out for people who want the same good things you do. Choose friends who have dreams of staying in school, getting good grades and creating opportunities for themselves. They have a great future ahead of them – just like you do!

Making new friends isn’t always easy, but when you are open, honest and being the real you, the right people come to you.

The best friendships happen naturally so don’t worry too much about what other people think of you. Focus on being a good person and the right crowd is sure to come your way!

A friend who fails his/her promise is he/she a good friend.

Hi,Yes nd no...it all depends on the type of promise it is.

Hey CHOMMY! No, that is not a good friend. Good friends do not make promises they cannot keep. In fact, no one is meant to make promises they cannot keep. Remember what they say, a promise is a ______. We hope this helps

Hey Miralle! what you like that person to be proud about? it depends on how you behave in public

Hey Miralle and CHOMMY! Thanks for the comment. Your friend should be proud of you no matter the type of behavior you have. If your friend is not proud of you in public then where is this friend now proud of you? In private when nobody sees you both? We hope this helps

i have a good friend and we are proud of eachother

Hey chrisdove! Thanks for the comment. What you need to realize is that friendship requires work. Why do you think your friendships end after a week? There are 2 possible reasons and you need to make a conscious effort to work on these. 1. You do not consciously keep in touch. Please note that it takes constant communication for friendship to work especially when you are just building the relationship. You cannot be silent and expect the friendship to work. 2. You have to choose the right friend and be right friend too. Not everyone can be your friend. You have to know what to look out for in a friend. Also, you have to be the type of friend you want to have. You cannot receive what you are not willing to give. Put these in your friendships and you will see the difference. We hope this helps

Hey Kingsley! Thanks for the comment. It is obvious that you are in a bad crowd. You need to move away from them if they are not contributing to your friendship. True friends are meant to make you do more and be a better person, not the other way round. We hope this helps

Kingsley I advice you to leave this friends of yours and concentrate more on your studies cause on the day of your exams they won't be the ones to write your exams for you.

Oh Kinsley sorry but i_can be ur friend

Hey jbaby005! Thanks for the comment. Your comment is very judgy and conclusive. Not all boys cheat and you have no fact to prove that boys cheat more than girls in a relationship. Springster is not a place to be judgmental so we do not allow such negativity. We hope you understand.

I need a girl who can cure my loneliness please.

Hi living without friends is not good for me,remember that was the reason God created Eve,good and great friends will always be there for u.Both bad friends will leave u when problems comes but good friends will be there for u in our good times and bad times as well,for me if u think ur friend is impacting u with bad things just let go of those friends cause they are not meant for u having no friends is actually a bad choice for me.

maybe is not u bt is for me
