Apparently most of her female friends are 13-15 and she has a few guy friends that are up to 16 years old!! ! she keeps on saying "oh it's not like his is a bad thing" but shes LITTLE. and everyone knows what 16 year old boys want.
I do have some friends that are 15 and 19 (and are both girls) that i dont mind her talking to because i know them well enough, but most of the people she's hanging out with are emo/scene/skaters. i know there's nothing WRONG with emo/scene/skater kids but there is more of a chance they'd have sex or do drugs. (i DO have friends who don't, but it's much more common for them to) I've hung out with stoners for years but that's only because i'm not easily influenced, i've never even tried anything. my little sister is VERY easy to influence. so many of my friends have been taken to the hospital for overdoses on oxy,hydros,and xanax. (perscription drugs are VERY popular at my school, even most of the nerds get high on prescription drugs) but every time i tell her how common it is for kids my age to do drugs and that she shouldnt hang out with them unless i KNOW theyre cool, she always gets so pissed at me and yells at me and then gets MORE friends my age. she thinks im being to overprotective, but most of the people my age actually ARE like that. i have no idea how to convince her to stop.
Musician, I think you are right to be concerned. Where are your parents in this? It's really their job to keep your sister on the straight and narrow.
I will say it's normal for aspies to choose to associate with those much younger or older than them. But it's one thing to have 65-year-old friends when you're fifty, and another matter altogether for one who's 11 to have friends so much older.
