Question:
How can I get my teenage son to stay away from 2 of his friends that are not a good influence on him?
My son has 2 friends that are wanna be thugs. I have worked hard all of my life to raise my son and help him succees. He defends them and tells me they are good and he will hang out with them.
Answers:
Time to lay down the law and exercise your authority as a parent. Let him know exactly why you are forbidding him from contacting the "wanna be thugs". Emphasize that you are requiring this not to "tell him who his friends can be", but because you love him too much to allow him to be in danger.
Tell him precisely what you expect of him, and what the consequences will be if he chooses to ingore those expectations. He likely will be angry about it. Sometimes as a parent, you must be willing to shoulder the anger of your child for their own protection.
