God's Word is very clear that we need to be careful when choosing our friends:
Proverbs 13:20
20 He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will be destroyed.
1 Corinthians 15:33
33 Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”
In proverbs 13:20 God makes it very clear to us that if we choose to hang around wise folks then in turn we will become wise as we learn from them. One of the first things we need to learn is wisdom comes from God so just because a person is smart does not mean they are wise. One is truly only wise if they are in Christ! The verse in 1 Corinthians gives us a clear warning that evil company will corrupt the good habits we have formed. In other words RUN from folks who practice evil. If you are in God's Word you know what that evil is...if you are not well what are you waiting for...get to reading!
We need to teach our children these truths and set good examples for them by making sure the friends we hang with are wise!
