Should parents choose friends to their children? I don't think so. I think that every child is a personality, and sometimes even their parents can't choose the right "friend" which can be interesting for their son or dauther. Every child has a choice. He or she wants to be happy without any ban. I think that parents can only protect them from the bad company. Of course, parents can look after of their child, but they have to do this without any annoyance.
