CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS

We need to be selective of the type of friends you mixed. In real life, there are friends who are good and those who are bad.

Good ones will make you a better person, the bad ones will make you from good to bad and bad to worst.

This is extremely important during secondary schools ( age between 12 onwards)

Unfortunately, these is not one schools that has 100% good students. Every schools there will be a mixture of good and bad. The child to need to choose the friends that ones to mixed with.

The child needs to clearly know who are the one that can make you a better person. And they may not the ones that you are having much fun with, may not be the goods ones. (Idea case will be both – good and fun.)

But if the ones that you are mixing with are not the good ones, you need to keep a distance. Tough choice but a necessary one.

As parent, you need to know you child’s friends either good or bad. Advice your child repeatedly. Make them understand by reasoning.

But note of the following:

1. Forcing is temporary and may have negative response.
2. When advice become nagging, that mean advice has no effect to convince them.
