How can I balance discipline and friendship in my life?

Balancing discipline and friendship can be challenging. It's important to set boundaries while also being supportive. What specific areas are you struggling with?

I find it hard to say no to my friends when they want to hang out.

It's natural to want to spend time with friends, but it's okay to prioritize your responsibilities. You could suggest alternative times to meet that work better for you.

That makes sense. How do I communicate that without hurting their feelings?

You can be honest yet gentle. Try saying something like, 'I really value our time together, but I need to focus on my studies right now. Can we plan for another day?'

Thanks! I’ll try that. What if they keep pushing me to join?

If they persist, remind them of your goals and how important it is for you to stick to them. True friends will understand and support your choices.
