I have to agree with Cricket on this one. While in undergrad, one of my best friends was a little "caught out there." However, I stuck with her. Why, one might ask? BECAUSE SHE IS MY FRIEND! To this day, she is like my sister. I had a problem with the things that she was doing, but it's her life. All I did was speak my peace and carry on.
Of course people are going to judge you by some of the things that your friends do. However, I don't think that should keep you from trying to attain your goals. I also don't think that you should abandon friendships because members of DEF don't approve. Sometimes you have to weigh your options. What means more to you?
