How do you Parent

My daughter right now is going through a time in her life where I think that she has allowed bad influences to enter her life. I do not like her friends or the people she calls friends, I do not like her actions. She describes all these things as who she is. (I remember this argument with my parents). So I thought that cutting her off from her friends from school would bring her back. I pushed church friends and particularly the only girl she is friends with. Now I find out that this friend is actually accepting of her behavior. And I also found out that this girl is mean and rude to another one of my kids. Now I have discontent for this girl.

I"ve realized that I cannot control the situation and ultimately my daughter will have to make the choices but I need to know how to make it the ideal situation for her to choose the right. I blame myself for not putting her in the ultimate environment. I blame myself for teaching her how open we are with people. How we don't condemn the person just the act. Had I perhaps been more strict of my condemnation of certain behaviors then she would not be in the situation she is now.
