Salat Times

Assalam Alaykum. I'm 13 years old, going to 8th grade. I am doing everything I can to be an excellent student, and a person praised by all. I have few close friends who are unlike me, do not care about their future. They do not want to learn anything. However, I call them close friends because I can definitely trust them. They will never expose a secret I tell them. These days, school is getting harder and I am having problems with catching up with the topics. I thought, in order to do that, I must abandon my friends or I can never reach my expectations. Please, brothers and sisters, tell me what shall I do? Which one should I choose? Thank you.

Studies should come first. If you lose any of your friends over bettering yourself then they were not true friends. Explain to them you need to focus school . Insha Allah they will understand.

Thank you! I will try to tell them what you told me. Perhaps they will understand me.

Balance between both friends and studying be good to your friends and study hard when it's suitable.

Brother, and that's exactly why I'm asking this question. It is very difficult, and maybe even impossible to balance it. Please tell me what shall I do?

Maybe you should take a break from friendship for a while until you catch up with your studies so your main objective now should be studies.
