I think that when you stand strong in your own self and your own values, you will find out who your real friends are.
I had a group of wonderful friends in high school. I had loads of fun when I was with them but they didn't always share my values....and some of them were LDS which made it more complicated. They knew what activities I would object too, and sadly I wasn't invited to hang out with them sometimes. But, in the end, I was true to my values and that made all the difference. I don't know if they respected that or not. Most of the time it felt like they just didn't want the guilt I brought by not following. It wasn't always easy, but I am glad I didn't compromise....even if it meant that I was included more.
Later, when I entered college I was able to meet so many who weren't bothered in the least by my values. I had much more fun and rarely worried that I needed to compromise to make friends.
