It contains a short English monologue/advice segment in which a single speaker shares a personal anecdote and urges young people to choose their friends carefully—avoid those involved in drugs, cheating, lying, or stealing—and emphasizes the concept of guilt by association.
There's an old saying that goes, who's your closest 5 friends? That's your future. But most of my classmates, when I graduated from high school, they're all drug dealers now. And they wonder why I don't want to hang out with them. It's because I don't do drugs. I've never done drugs. I just stay away from anybody like that. And anybody who's cheating, lying, or stealing, I stay away from them. You're just as guilty by association with people. So that's why I just, I say to young people, your friends are crucial. Yeah.
