When a new believer in Christ you have to change people places and things How does bad company corrupt good character (1 Corinthians 15:33)? The point Paul makes here is pertinent to all people in all ages. When we associate with or take delight in the company of people with worldly morals, we run the risk of mimicking their behaviors, their language, and their habits. Before long we are no longer of Christ, but of the world with its denial of absolute authority, its rejection of the Bible as the Word of God, and its ideology of relative morality. This is especially pertinent to young people who are generally easily influenced by their peers. Young people are desperate for the approval of others.

Therefore, it is crucial for parents of young teens especially to be on guard against the influence of bad company.
