Weekly words of wisdom
“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.”
-J.K. Rowling
This week’s quote is from author Joanne Rowling, J.K. Rowling.

Some other novels by Rowling include The Cuckoo’s Calling, and The Casual Vacancy. J.K. Rowling has a “rags to riches” life story.

This quote was chosen to show that sometimes it may be difficult to say no to friends. Sometimes people can succumb to peer presure and unfortunately friends can participate in peer pressure. Always stand up for what is right even though it can be difficult.
