Bad Company
Due to the lack of maturity in decision making, teenagers are prone to peer pressure. Peer pressure forces someone to change their personality and alter decision making to conform to the norms set by the group. Most of the teens who smoke say that they started smoking because they saw this from their friends and they just tried it and eventually became a vice.
Troubled teens tend to rebel and join inappropriate groups and even gangs. One particular solution for this is to keep the kids away from these types of people. How? Teach them how to look for good friends who can pressure them into doing what is right and just. Bad influence often produce negative results. A parent must be vigilant with the people surrounding their children in order to stop them from joining bad company.
