Actor Majid Michel has advised young people not to take just anyone as a friend.
According to him, he started taking alcohol at a very young age due to the friends he associated himself with.
Majid told Andy Dosty on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz Monday morning, explaining that he used to take all sorts of alcohol, including doing drugs.
“I was a drunkard at a young age. Friends are very critical, don’t take friends lightly.”
“The people around you will make you or break you, if you think you are just enjoying life.”
“It is very easy when the weakness of the flesh, and you have no control over it at a very young age. You will destroy yourself.”
He added that some of his friends died at a very young age due to alcohol and that they were drinking heavily.
“I have had friends that have died along the way from alcohol when we were younger, some had liver issues, because we used to drink hard alcohol. We were not picky.
