The phrase booze and mischief left me worrying I'd stumbled into what my mother referred to as "the wrong crowd," but for the wrong crowd, they both seemed awfully smart.
Running with the wrong crowd will never help you.
The fact is, when you are young, if you are mingling with wrong people, you tend to be misguided. You tend to be brainwashed easily.
I think we've all been misled, at moments in our lives, certainly in school situations, and things like that, with getting with the wrong group briefly, or falling in with someone who we learn the truth about and no longer want to really be with.
I knew what could happen to my son if he was sent to the wrong school and got in with the wrong crowd.
I was hanging out with some of what my mother would consider the wrong kind of kids. With no direction, no motivation. I would hang out in the lunchroom all day, or the handball courts
The mouse had fallen in with evil cats.
It's easy to have the wrong type of people around you.
