unfortunately you cannot protect your younger sister from bad friends...forcing her to stop seeing people she chooses to see might only cause her to resent you and cause a strain on your relationship...all that you can do is give her advices and warnings...it is still up to her to heed your advice...life is a painful teacher...sometimes we have to go through bad experiences to learn...we all go through that stage...just be a supportive elder sister and pray that she heeds your advice and that she won't get into too much trouble...

It's so sweet how you want to protect your baby sister against bad friends but if you look at reality, you can't protect her forever. Just teach her about the "real world" & just let her know that the outside world is a very dangerous place. If she's loved at home & she has a lot of people who care about her, I'm pretty sure that she'll be smart enough to choose who the right friends are. ;]

The best way to protect your baby sisters is to instill in her moral values. Teach her what is right and what is wrong. It is also important to tell her the reasons why as well. This will make her understand, and decide between the two.
It is not wise to tell her thather friends are bad. However, it is important to tell her what bad things or influences others may have.
Educate her is the best protection. Once she has a full knowlege of moral values, and can see the differences between good company and bad company she will know what is good for her..
take care..

Hi Marichu,
Honestly, you can't protect her. It's not that you are with her 24 hours a day. And the more protective you are, the more she will day want to get out of your grasp. Just give her all the advise she needs. Even if you have to repeat it everyday. That's the most you can do. You simply hope she will listen. But if in case she does fall prey to bad friends. Just stick around with her & continue to support & love her unconditionally. The day will come when she will go to low points. Be there for her. And be judgemental. Catch her fall.

It's very sweet that you care about her and want to protect her, but unfortunately there aren't many ways to do that. You could explain to her that she should be careful with picking her friends, but sooner or later she'll grow up and will be able to make her own decisions, which you'll have to respect and won't really be able to change.
Just calmly explain to her that she should pick good, caring people to hang out with, and explain to her what "bad friends" are, but apart from that, you can't really do much else.
Good luck.

Be nice and friendly with your little sister so that you can freely tell her what are her do's and don'ts especially with the friends she going with. As long as you have a good bonding relationship as a family I think your little will know on what to do and go along with her good friends. What I know those siblings with family problem tend to go with friends who are unruly so if you don't have any family problem at the moment I don't think she'll go along with her bad friends.

Don't put her friends down. Point out the trouble she gets in when with them. Tell her you are worried about her. Let her know what you see as far as changes in behavior or personality when she is with them. Make this about her, not her friends. When she starts to hear what you are saying is the time to bring up the friends.
