Let them know you care about them and don't want to see them get into trouble. 2. Suggest spending time with just the two of you doing fun activities you both enjoy, to provide an alternative to hanging out with the new group. 3. If talking doesn't work, involve other trusted friends or an adult for help. A parent, teacher, coach or counselor may be able to provide guidance or keep an eye on the situation. 4.
