Simplified meaning
When you spend time with bad people or get involved in bad situations, you'll end up getting hurt or having problems as a result. It's like if you sleep with dogs; you'll wake up with fleas. For instance, if you hang out with friends who are always in trouble or doing things that are wrong, you might get into trouble too. They might convince you to do something bad, and you could face the consequences like getting punished or feeling regret. To avoid these problems, it's better to choose friends who have good habits and make positive choices. This way, you can help each other succeed and stay out of trouble. So, be careful about who you spend your time with, because their behavior can rub off on you.
