"He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."
A Proverb

This means that you have to choose the people you mostly talk to and hang out with carefully because you are most likely to become like them. If you hang out with the wrong people then you will do wrong things and if you hang out with the right people you will do right things. For example, if you hang out with people that smoke, do drugs, and do illegal things; it is likely that you will also do the same. But if youhang out with people that want to succeed, do their homework, and are responsible, it will serve you for the better.
