PS: as a father, I do think it's better to criticize his peers rather than him and it sounds like that's what you are doing.
I have no problem telling my 11 year old son that his friend Joe is a knothead and you could let your opinion known in that regard (let's face it - a lot of guy-friends you have when you are younger were/are knotheads).
But try to stay away from criticizing/nagging him.
That obviously isn't working.
