A: It is definitely a good idea to distance yourself from someone you think is a bad influence. It may be hard, but you should have a conversation with her about how you’re feeling. However, make sure you are not judging her choices. Kindly tell her that you want to distance yourself from some of the things she participates in, but you still want to be friends. You should also try talking to other people, you will probably make new friends (seek out friends who you don’t think would be a bad influence on you). This conversation will probably be uncomfortable, but you shouldn’t just ghost her. You have to let her know why you are distancing yourself.
Hope I could help 🙂
