"If your so-called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow."
By: Thomas S. Monson
This quote is saying that you should always stand up for what is right and what ever you believe in and not listen or follow others who are doing the wrong thing. If your "friends" are trying to make you do something bad like drugs, then you should avoid that because you wouldn't want to hang out with people who are bad influences. You shouldn't do something that you are uncomfortable of doing. That's why you have to stand up for yourself. You should never do anything that's wrong to impress others. You'll probably be the only one doing the right thing, but you'll be rewarded unknowingly like good karma. If you are being pressured by your friends (peer pressure) to do something and you know it's wrong, make a stand to the correct situation. Even if you have no one to back you up in your stand, you must be brave enough to stand up, and when there are others in the same situation they can look up to you and do the same steps.
