what’s going on?

Hi Chad.

You look worried about something.

Are you?

I don’t know what to do.

Some of the guys

want me to go partying with them this weekend.

They’re going to be doing some things

that are not good.

I don’t think I want to go.

I also don’t want to say “no”

for fear that they’ll think I’m not “cool”.

Well, you shouldn’t do something

for fear of what your friends might say.

The Bible says,

“bad company corrupts good character.”

Anyone who wants you

to do somthing you don’t want to do

is not really your friend.

I know you’re right,

but what am I supposed to do?

Hmm...

I have an idea.

This weekend my family is going on a camping trip.

You could come with us?

Then you could just tell your friends

you would rather go camping.

Really?

That would be great!

Thanks a lot Chad.

You're welcome.

It's going to be fun.

Yea!
