When teens are choosing friends who are also making poor choices, it demonstrates that their self-image is consistent with the behavior of those in their group of friends. In other words, they feel at home in a certain group of kids because they have accepted the label that group represents as their own identity.

As teens develop a commitment to change themselves for the better, they begin to recognize the need to make new friends who will mirror and support their new set of choices.
