This is, of course, a compliment to you and your teenager and perhaps an opportunity to really help someone. You may be able to offer friendship and support. If you are really uncomfortable about the friend s behaviour you need to talk to your teenager about it and explain your concerns. Trust your teenager. If the trust is broken find ways to earn it again.
Mistakes are to be learnt from.
