Did you listen to your parents, or did you listen to your friends?
Friendships can define a boy’s life. More than that, friendships in a group can provide identity. There is a reason sports teammates will fight viciously for one another on the field. It’s also why gangs are so prevalent– it gives boys a sense of belonging, and can drive them to do things they know are wrong.
How can you help your son choose? It doesn’t have to be left to chance.
You can give him godly friends who will inspire him as they help each other along the way. And who knows? Perhaps your son is the one the others will listen to and learn from.
