0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM.
0:10.0	Triumph 111 mom and violet welcome to the program.
0:14.0	Hi, Dr. Law.
0:16.0	Hi, violet. How old are you?
0:19.0	I'm just team.
0:21.0	And what can I help you with?
0:25.0	I had a sleep over the other day with a couple of friends and we snuck some boys in the house or not in the house, but the pasture and where did you sneak the boys?
0:41.0	We have a big pasture, so we like to send them in around in the pasture and and yeah, and so my parents found out about it and my parents called my friends parents and my best friend who is there.
1:04.0	Her parents are like pretty strict. She's not allowed to hang out with boys or have anything to do with them.
1:14.0	And she's like constantly just sneaking around with boys trying to be sneaky and she told her parents that it was all me when we snuck them in like it was all my fault.
1:30.0	I forced them to do it. I forced them to help me seek the boys in and that wasn't the case. We all agreed that we were going to do this.
1:42.0	And I just don't really know what to do.
1:45.0	Now I don't know what to do. I don't know how to continue this relationship with her.

2:01.0	And I would hold you responsible. It was your place, your parents place. So I hold you completely responsible that she's lying to try to have consequences less.
2:12.0	That's the kind of girl she is. So you would need if that's as good a person as you see yourself.
2:20.0	My opinion is when you're a teenager you pick the kids you feel to be friends that you feel comfortable with.
2:26.0	And maybe the kids who behave modestly, politely, honestly do things that are valuable, purposeful.
2:36.0	Maybe you feel like you don't fit in that group. And if that's so, and if you're getting lower denominator friends, then I suggest that you up your bar and become somebody you'd more respect and your parents would more respect.
2:50.0	Because right now they've lost respect for you. And focusing in on she said you made it happen is to miss the point.
2:57.0	You had her as a friend knowing her behavior and you let it happen.
3:03.0	You're as responsible.
