It's not good in life to live without friends but some friends are bad due to the way they behave and what they do. Therefore, if you have a bad friend do not run away from them,but try to help them in order to change and below is how:_

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Try to find out what makes them bad. If it's poverty, teach them how to make money and advise them to be patient. If it's harmful drugs like marijuana, advise them not to be addicted because such drugs affects human life and sometimes causes death.

  2. Step 2

    Don't show them that they are bad, but talk to them nicely as they may change.

  3. Step 3

    Show them that you care and would not like to see them in trouble. Failure to do so, they may see you as their enemy and finally they may decide to kill you or make something dangerous to your life.

  4. Step 4

    Ask someone who may be an adult to advise them so that they change. Failure to change for a long time, report to the authorities secretly for assistance.

Tips & Warnings
  • Don't show that you're against them and their acts because if you do so, your life will be in danger or you may end up in trouble.

on 2/5/2009 You're very right to try to understand what is causing the person's problems and help them overcome that issue. A friend gotten this way will likely be a very true friend. If these tactics fail, I would leave them to their own devises however. Sometimes people need to learn a lesson on their own to truly understand it.
