Hanging out with the wrong friends can cause a lot of problems for you even if you don't participate in their poor choices. Other people (including your parents) often consider you guilty by association meaning you might get in trouble even if you didn't do anything wrong. Getting rid of these kinds of people can be difficult, so it's usually best to simply avoid them from the beginning.

Begin to distance yourself.
Slowly stop accepting their invitations to hang out. If they invite you over to their house, avoid it. Pretend to be ill or make an excuse..
Try one of these examples:
“I’m not really in the mood to hang out today.”
“Thanks for the invitation, but I’m not feeling very well today.”
Also, quit confiding in them. Continuing the intimacy of friendship will only make it harder to end the relationship in the long run.
Make excuses to avoid them.
Start coming up with reasons that you can't see them. This will help if they are bad company and you want to gradually stop hanging out with them. Eventually they should start to notice and leave you alone.
Some good examples of excuses could be that you have to babysit, that your parents are monitoring you, or you could even sign up for school activities and say they are taking up too much of your time.
Try one of these examples:
“I appreciate the offer, but I have a lot of homework tonight.”
“I can’t hang out today because my parents are making me do my chores at home.”
Try to help them if you really want to continue to hang out with them.
Talk to them about their behavior and tell them why their actions bother you. Give them advice about how to change if they are willing to hear it.
Some ways you could help them are by telling them honestly how their behavior makes you feel, talking to a counselor or their parents with them, offering to help them with something stressful in their life that might be causing them to act out (like homework, trouble at home, etc.), or helping them find positive outlets in their life (like sports, church, and other hobbies or school activities).
Try one of these examples:
“It bothers me when you make me feel like I’m not a good friend.”
“I don’t like feeling pressured to do things I don’t want to do. I wish you wouldn’t do that.”
“I’ll be happy to help you figure out a way to deal with that situation.”
Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself.
If they persist with their bad behavior and won't leave you alone, continue to resist them. But if they still continue to follow you, tell them you don't want to hang out with them anymore.
Try one of these examples:
“I don’t think being friends with you is good for me right now. I think I need to take a break.”
“I feel like I need to focus on other things right now. I can’t hang out with you anymore.”
Choosing Better Company
Think about the kind of friends that you want. What qualities are you looking for in a friend? Determining these things ahead of time will help you know what to look for when you are making new friends. Search out people who have these positive qualities you want in your life.
Some qualities you might consider are kindness, honesty, loyalty, intelligence, or creativity.
Think of ways to tell if people possess these qualities. For example, someone who makes good grades in school is probably intelligent. Someone who volunteers at a nursing home is probably kind. Someone who is very active in art class is probably creative.
