      Everyone has good and bad friends and maybe you are no that good yourself but you do know your morals and you know what is right and wrong. When you are dared to do something bad like for example smoke a cigarette and you know it's wrong and you don't what to, then don't do it becasue it is better to say no. Even though they might think your so uncool, you have your inseparables and even if you have to stand alone while everyone is laughing at you, you should laughing at them becasue they don't know the big mistake they have make by smoking and tell them you want no part in it. Another example is in a party and you get invited and just go becasue you did not want to be rude and thought that it will be a good party.  Once you realized it everyone is using drugs and others drinking alcohol and they invite you to come and join them. You say no even if you are the only one that is not using drugs and not drinking you stand up for your good and say no and leave even if in their eyes you seem uncool. Create your own party where everything is clean of drugs and alcohol. Don't let others stop you from doing good.
