This verse in the Bible gives us wonderful advice especially about pride. Many people today want to hang with the "rich kids", the "hot guy or girl", the famous "sports star". This happens in Varsity, high school, everywhere.
Now, don't get me wrong, I didn't say avoid (cut-off and isolate) yourself from rich people. No. Associate with both if and when you're told to under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. God loves us all regardless of the label society puts on us.

As you can see(mouse over the Bible verse), Romans 12:16 the Bible says otherwise. It says clearly, "Do not be proud". If God says do not do something and you do it, automatically, you've sinned. Do not lie, do not steal, do not commit adultery, etc.... you see the similarity.
Be willing to associate... not "associate because it makes me look good" or "associate because I have to...", no. When you're willing to do something, you don't have a "have to..." attitude, you do it with a joyful heart. When you're obeying this commandment, do it willingly... and joyfully.
Take my advice: Obey the Bible, obey God.
