My main group of friends are lacking academically, but here I am with a 3.8 gpa. However, my friend group is very active with outside activities, and I'm basically a shut-in that does homework his whole life. So yeah, that statement is utterly false in my own experience.

only to a degree. some people try to be like your friends or try to become like your friends.. theres a saying in bible that says as iron sharpens iron man sharpens each other.. basically we rub off on each other. we arent quite like the people around us but they can influence our behaviors.. im pretty sure people on here influence others behaviors.

Yes and no. I'm closest with my wife who is my bestfriend and yet at times we are different and other times completely the same. While my next closest friend we are different in that I can walk up to anyone and become friends with them, while even the thought of talking to a strange makes him want to hide under the table. And my other friend is a bleeding nutjob who is always searching for himself. UGH!!! Always looking after some new form of philosophy with which to ENLIGHTEN his life. Bah!! Irritates the shit out of me sometimes, while in high school my friends were a real mismatch of funny fellows none of who were certainly not what I'd call 'kindred spirits' to my own.

I remember hearing that as a teenager. I have to say I agree....if my friends were doing something I wanted to do whatever they were doing. Now not so much.
