I have a friend that doesnt get real good grades. Part of the problem is that she is hanging out with a girl who is a bad influence. This "girl" left the school for a month and while she was gone, my friend's grades started getting better. Now that the "girl" is back, my friends grades are slipping. What do I do to help this situation?

*So are you putting quotes around "girl" because this "girl" is really a guy?!*
~Wow...okay either way, there is not too much you can do. Because if your friend wants to hang out with this "girl" she is going to no matter what anyone says...even you.
.The best you can do is encourage her to study or even set up study dates for you two to study together and make sure she understands what she is doing.
*You can still express your concern about her "girl" friend that she's been hanging out with and let her know that you've noticed her grades dropping ever since she and this other "girl" have been hanging out. And also let her know that you noticed that her grades picked up after this "girl" was not in the picture anymore.
.By doing this you'll let her know that you care, and that you have been paying attention....and that you...know.
~Like I said from the start though, she will continue to see this "girl" no matter what anyone tells her. And until she crashes and burns....whether if it's by failing her classes or flunking out...or something else. She won't understand how much of a bad influence this "girl" is on her.
.Anyways you sound like a great friend and you have a lot of concern for your friends welfare. So I hope she comes to her senses and can see this "girl" for what "she" is.
Good luck.

Spend time with her studying. Show her catalogs from the colleges you are looking at and talk about your dreams of your future. Ask her what she has planned.
Don't preach, just let her know that you have dreams that have to be worked at, and she can, too.
Don't talk about the other girl at all. You are wasting valuable time and influence. She will think you are just jealous, and defend her, instead of listening to your positive ideas.
Good for you taking such good care of yourself!
You cannot MAKE her care, but you can be a good example and influence.
Finally, even if she flunks out of school, you can still be a good influence and help her to get back on track.
Just have fun with her and be her pal.

I do not know how good you are friends with her. Maybe mention it to a teacher. But if the teacher does not get anything of that, than most likely is the other girl a bad influence . Perhaps you ought to talk to a school counselor.

Talk to her about it. You can always tutor her and stuff if she ever needs help. Adress the problem to her but don't make it look like you're talking bad about her other friend. Just tell her to not get influenced. It's probably her fault that she's being influenced because it's her choice.

Invite your friend to study with you. I assume you do get good grades so you're gonna be a good influence on her...and a better friend too.

Sit down and have a talk with your friend.. ask her if she noticed the difference in grades etc.
let her know you don't have a problem with ne1 shes hangin out with, but if its gona affect her grades, its probably not the smartest thing.
try to motivate her to get her grades up without putting her other friend down. let her know she doesnt have to drop to that girl's level just cuz they;re hangin out.

you should hang around with your friend more to keep her away from her bad friend..
if she likes you more than her, eventually you are a good influencer to her and she will stay with you..
good luck..

Not much you can do if she wont listen to you when you try to explain what this bad girl is doing, you can only hope she wises up soon.
