Why do some kids continue to hang around a group that treats them badly? what advice would you give to someone you know who was doing this?

Some kids continue to hang out around with a group that treats them badly because of an emotional attachment as well as being too scared of leaving them, possibly knowing that they dont have anyone else to turn to/hang out with and believing that what they are doing is ok also the group that treats them badly may manipulate the kids by apologising yet still carrying on with the same bad actions.An advice i would give to someone i know who was doing this is being supportive and patient as the person/people may find it hard to remove themselves from those sort of people, i would also ask why they are still hanging out with that group of friends and depending on the answer i would advice them and be there for them (e.g they stay with the group that treats them badly because they have been friends for many years and have no one else so what i would do is let them know that i am here and they can always hang out with me and my friends or just come to me if they aren’t ok/needs someone to talk to)

i hope that helps and answers those questions
