if friends are forcing you to change or compromise your beliefs and or morals then they aren't worth having anyhow....don't feel selfish your doing what you feel will benifit you best in the long run! sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders!  |

*claps* WTG AngelicEyes for taking a stand in what you know and believe is right!! It is never an easy choice to cut off friends but it IS a very wise one when you know that what they are doing or trying to get you to do is wrong, immoral, and illegal. You are to be commended for your strongwill! You are not making a mistake, but rather making a very wise decision to not allow others to ruin your life. Life itself is a very hard road to travel, and the fewer wrong turns made during that travel the better a life you will have made for yourself along the way! Best wishes to you, hang tough and continue to stand your ground!!  |

It's hard to do the right thing, like you are. People that see or hear someone doing the right thing, don't like them because it makes them feel guilty about what they're doing. I think you can be friendly aquaintences... just saying "hello, or how are you doing." I do agree that distance is usually good when someone is doing something immoral or illegal. Unfortunately, we can all get influenced to do bad things now and then and distance helps prevent this. Stay strong.... ;o)  |

There is no doubt in my mind that you are making the best decision for you. You aren't being selfish you are just doing what you think is right and your friends shouldn't expect you to do the things they are doing anyway. If you dont' want to go against the law and your morals you don't have to and no one should force you to do anything that you don't want to. If they were real friends then they would understand. Good Choice! I'm sure it was a hard one to make. God Bless! SoulSinger4ever |

No your not selfish have you ever heard this comment "LOVE THE SINNER NOT THE SIN" well refers to everyone that hates you for you making right decisions, i guarentee you that when they need someone to talk to besides their bad company you'll be the first person they'll think about so my advise is to not hold a grudge against them and try to be a "good" friend to them if they let you. |

You need to make some new friends. It's hard to make choices like these, but you are doing the right thing. Now find some other people that are also making positive choices in their lives.
Good luck
