Ok your son is BORED and he is at the age where excitement and experimentation are important to him.
So what you need to do is distract him. For instance is he into sports? or in anyway artistic? if so encourage him in these pursuits and try and find places for him to pursue them and encourage him to go.
He will soon develop new friends in these activities as well as new skills and confidence(more confidence means less peer pressure!!).
At his age he needs guidance more than disipline So try not to be to heavy handed.

xcuse my spelling
I have to agree, if he gets involved in an avtivity (preferably one that this group of youths are not
into) he will find new friends and i'm sorry but if he's mixing with kids who are trouble i would have no qualms whatsoever about telling him he isn't hanging with them FULL STOP
