Hanging with the wrong crowd

One of Franklin's quotes that stuck out to me was this :
He that lieth down with dogs, shall rise up with flees.
The quote is saying that if you lay down with dogs the dogs' flees will get onto you too. Well this can also be associated with hanging out with the wrong group of people. The group of people you are hanging out with are the dogs. All the bad things they are doing or talking about are the flees and if you continue to hang out with those people those flees will become yours too as you try to fit in and seem like a part of that bad group of kids. This quote can be applied to many things in life, but for me this example seemed to stick out the most. If you are lying with the dogs then get up and rid yourself of the flees of those dogs, don't let someone else influence how you live your life. God has a special plan for every single person in this world so don't let that one bad group of people get in your way, separate yourself from that group and find people that will lift you up and actually care about you.
