How much can you do about your teens friends you don't care for? I mean I won't let my daughter hang out with some kids outside of school, but I'm not in school telling her no. I'm talking about some of the girls that I know that are way more mature if you know what I mean.

That is a tough one. I would say you just have to teach your daughter what is right and wrong and what is the proper thing to do etc. and hope she makes the right choices. Kids are going to make mistakes, it is how we all learn.
Did your parents pick your friends when you were a teen? If you tell her no, she might hang out with them more just to make you mad. Remember how it was

I would just express to her your feelings on right and wrong and let it go from there. You can't be with her every minute and the more you force the issue the more like them she will become and the more time she will try and spend with them.

Sometimes the more you talk bad about them the more it will make her want to hang out with them. It is like they become the forbidden fruit and that will make her want to be around them even more than before. That's why if possible I would take a more hands off approach and see if that helps to curb their appeal.

The best way to make them want to be with those friends is to talk against them. I find that the best thing to do is to teach your daughter the right morals and values and then ask them if their friends have the same morals and values. That will cause them to take a look at their friends. Have her invite them over to the house after school for a homework session and see how many of them

I agree with KJP22 the more you tell a teenager not do something the more they will want to do it. Mostly because kids want to rebel against what their parents say. Some kids are mature enough to understand why they shouldn't be friends with certain people. But not all of them and if you tell them not to be friends with them they will just sneak behind your back and do it
