Responsible friends would never engage you in risky behaviours, especially in sexual ones. Responsible friends are most likely not to do this kind of things, but you also have to be responsible.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

By having responsible friends, you are more likely to be discouraged from doing irresponsible things. Whether it's regarding alcohol or drugs, responsible friends may influence you not to do those kinds of things.
