Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
let your friends show it to him.. i mean he should see it with his own eyes.. if you and your friends are still going to school you can prove it to your dad that they are good if they have a good role in your school or if they have high grades.. if not.. lessen the partying out.. dads dont like that.. you could hang out in your house that way your dad will trust your friends..

Sometimes thats the way it is. Parents dont always like their kids friends. Maybe he has a good reason for it. Besides that he thinks they are brats maybe he has other reasons not to like them. Then again, he doesnt know them like you do. Tell him that. Just sit and talk with him. Tell him all the amazing things they do, and make him listen. You also should listen to his explanation. Sometimes parents think they know who we should hang out with and whats best for us, but they dont. But maybe he knows what hes talking about, you never know.

If there isn't any good reason for him to not like them, then don't let him say things about them. If there IS a reason that he doesn't like them, try to show him all the good things about them! They're your friends, he should like them!! Good luck!

hey,
I think it seems like you've already tried to show him how amazing they are. And obviously it isn't working out to well. I suggest you talk to your dad about it. Tell him that you dont appreciate how he's always so negative about your friends and that it hurts you that he doesnt aprove of such great people. Or something along those lines.

Sometimes parents don't like there childrens friends. Like I have a friend I like her a lot but my parents think shes's a brat. But you should convince him to let you spend more time with them because he barely even knows them. Also asking him way he thinks they are brats wouldn't hurt and take that problam and try to work around it.
Hope I Helped :)

Find out why your dad doesn't like them. Ask him what his big deal is with your friends. Maybe he just doesn't like them or maybe he has some specific reason, I don't know. But talk to him and find out why so then maybe you can change his views. Try and give him more than enough reasons to like your friends, tell about their accomplishments and how great they are. Give him no reason to doubt how great they are.
Hope this helps and your dad see's your friends like you see them.

Maybe you dad has attachment ishues with you, and doesn't want his little baby to go. The best thing to do, is talk it all out with him, tell him how you feel, learn how he feels. If he doesn't seem to budge, then oh well listen to his advice, and be more coutios.

Spend some more time with your dad ask him why he doesn't like yourfriends take it slow and it will take some time but work it out. Maybe something's troubling him that he has to take it out on somebody. Talk to him...Good luck!

Maybe your dad thinks they will be a bad influence on you. Make it clear to them you are old enough to choose your own friends and old enough not to be influenced by them as well.

Why does your dad think they're all brats? Tell your father to give 5 GOOD reasons why they are "brats". With every reason he gives, give a counter argument. Don't forget to remind him that you and your father are not perfect people either. Especially from just first impression, he cannot make assumptions like that.
Have you invited your friends over for dinner? Maybe you can get them over, have everyone help prepare food, and eat with your dad while chitchatting with him. That would be a good time to show your dad how nice they are. Good luck!
