For whatever reason your best friend is attracted to the whole "bad" thing, and there's nothing you can do about it. The more you try to tell her to do the right thing, the more she avoids you and even gets angry. The only thing you can do is make sure you don't get caught up in all of it and get yourself into trouble. Hopefully, this will be just a short phase and she will return to her senses soon, but sometimes people never lose interest in trouble and drama. You just have to go about your life and be yourself and make good choices. It will pay off in the end for you, but for the rest of your life, along the way you are going to know and love people who get lost and seem to make the worst possible decisions for themselves. You just want to grab them and shake them and say, "what are you thinking?!" but the more you tell them, the less they want to hear the truth and the more they avoid you and go into the other crowd. The other crowd never tells your friend things she doesn't want to hear. She is all new and interested, and she makes them feel so cool because she thinks they are cool. Misery loves company, and the more she hangs around them, the more negative her attitude will become. If you truly love your friend and want to help her, try to find some other stuff for the two of you to do that will promote positive interaction. Maybe volunteer somewhere, or some other positive activity. I complement you for having the good common sense to want to make good decisions.
