"It's better to be alone than to be in bad company"

ANON  

I agree with this statement because bad company is always bad to everybody. An example of this is gangs, gangs only want to hurt people and force you to do things that are bad, like smoke or drink. It'd be better to be alone than surround yourself with those type of people.
