Parents fear the negative influence that friends could have on their teenager. We speak of “bad associations”, when these have a harmful influence on the child. For example, when they incite him to adopt dangerous or even illegal behavior and/or when they harm his relations with his family and loved ones, or his regular attendance at studies.
It is therefore normal for each parent to worry about their child and to want to talk to him about it.

How to handle disagreements? Who do you contact when this disagreement turns to conflict?
