RELATIONSHIPS AND IT'S EFFECT ON STUDENTS

This is an area of life that has robbed many of their academic future. Relationship talks about your friends. Friendship has robbed many of their academic destinies. It is often said that " your friends determine your end in life"
The scripture state that " he that walks with the wise shall be wise but a companion of fools shall be destroyed " . Proverb 13:20

So it follows that when you walk with unserious students who don't know where they are going, they will influence you and you will begin to behave like them.
There is a saying " show me your friend and I will tell you who you are ". And proverb 27:17 says " iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friends "
