You WILL - without question - become more like the people that you surround yourself with. I am glad that you chose integrity, but also wish that the cost for that could be lower. :-|
I am mentally drafting a letter to those friends I dropped in his defense. We were like eleven years old and stupidity is par for the course at that age. I hope they found the right path in life. I should have stayed and stood up to them.
There is little use blaming yourself for much of anything you've done in the past - you can't go back and change any of it, and perhaps you've thought about it since much more than they have even:-). The only thing to do is decide what way seems best to move forward to.
