what if your parents disapprove of your friends?

Yeah I have been on this situation many times. Most of the friends I have before is something dfferent from me. They are a kind of friends that other say a bad influence to someone straight like me. I get to accept friends like that and that for me it's exciting because you will learn how and what their lives. What they need and why some things not really good to do they do. I kept on telling my Parents that it really isnt some one bad will turn you bad, because you still have the control of your self and that it's up to you if you let them influence you to what they do, but then now so far I am not having friends like that and my parents are not deciding or taking control of me about that. I have my own thinking and besides I will not learn from my self if they are the one's controling my life. I understand their concerns for me and I appreciate it because with how they put me up and how I am now it's all because of them.

Well don't worry about what your parents say. Sometimes people are stuck in there ways. What can ya do....

I have issues when it comes to that. I notice that if I'm friends with someone for no matter how long, once my mother voices some type of negative opinion about them that I usually re-evaluate the whole friendship. It's been happening ever since I was young and the worst part is that she's usually right. The good thing is that she likes most of my friends, and even the questionable ones she doesn't mind because she thinks I'm a good influence on them. but some people she just can't learn to trust and it seems that it was the best thing to cut them off. So I trust my mom's advice.

It's good to know that you are in the good company of good friends. If my parents disapprove my friends, I will surely ask them why. And if their explanation is convincing, I will consider it. And if it means getting rid of my friends, then I'll do it. As long as my parents explain to me the qualities that they want from a friend, I can really adjust obey what they will tell me.

Why do I still have to defend them if they're not really my friends!!!!! you know what?? I've already done that and in the end I turned out to be the bad one!!!!! and now I hate them!!! They are Backstabbers!!! Users!!!!
