"Parents should discuss 'what if' situations with their teens before an upcoming party, date or outing. Role-playing a potential teen situation in advance will help your child make the right choice if it should occur."Consider, also, giving your teen an "escape route"; a code that's set up between parent and teen so that if the teen finds herself in a bad situation she can call a parent and asked to be picked up without exposing the negative behavior of her friends.
