Indeed, why we should even have bad friends in the first place. I have read somewhere of this quotes, which I believe is really put this thing into picture.
"Good friends are like perfume makers, while bad friends are like blacksmith. Although you don't have the perfume yourself, being around perfume seller makes you smell like you wear it. You smelled smoke when you are near a blacksmith, although you don't even smack the metal."
Nothing more that decides the course of your life besides your own choice of friends - choose your friend wisely. Let's smell like a perfume makers. ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

Friends definitely have an influence in your life but the kind of influence that they have on you depends entirely on you. You need not do everything they say just because they are your friends. You need not change your habits for them. You can be friends with people without changing your lifestyle then friendship will not have any effect on you. I have seen people become good because of friends and I have also seen people ruin their life because of friends. So its entirely upto you to decide how much role you want friendship to play in your life

I never consider my friends as bad influence even though lot of people thought my friends was like that, like this and blabla., You're right too that everything is depends on how you handle or participate with them.

I believe it is more on how you socialize yourself. Friends can bring the best or the worst out of you, and believe me it is your choice how you would fare with your friends. If you wanted to be a better person, it is best to start "filtering" your friends and choose to get closer to those who are a good friend - a friend that will bring you towards successful life.
Nevertheless, many people fall for the trap of having bad people as "friends". They thought that having one or two "bad friends" wouldn't hurt. Hey, you are what your friends are. Don't underestimate the human ability to influence other people.
