Choosing Friends Friendships are incredibly important during the teen years, and the people your child spends time with can strongly influence their choices. That’s why it’s essential to know who their friends are, encourage positive relationships, and stay involved in their social lives. Talk with your teen about what makes a good friend. True friendship isn’t about popularity or appearances, it’s about mutual respect, trust, and care. A real friend wants to keep you safe, not pressure you into risky behavior.
