They say that to define a person you need to take a look at the company they keep. In other words you need to know their friends. This has always been a saying that proves to justify a persons identity and has proven to be a true fact throughout the years.
I feel, therefore, that it is important for parents to know who their child/ren's best friend is. As a person you eventually learn methods of behaviour and habits from the people you spend most of your time with and parents know their child best as to whether they fit that other persons description or not. At times you find that you and your friend think you know each other and are accepting of one anothers flaws and habits, only to find that it is going to be the reason for an overrall altercation in the end.
If your parents are familiar with your friend, they can tell you first-hand if that person will be good for you in the long run or not. Parents do tend to be right so there is no need to underestimate their judgement, even if you are growing and maturing with age. Those are one of the many benefits of having them around. One should make use and acknowledge that while you still can.
