RE: squelling brakes
Problem 1: Letting someone ride your whip.
Solution 1: Don't do it.
Problem 2: Squealing
Solution 2: Check how worn down the pads are visually. You can tell if they are getting close to the backing. If you see a little piece of metal touching your rotor (the squeal/time to replace indicator), you need pads.
If this doesn't help, come back with a more descriptive version of exactly when the problem happens and when it doesn't. Example: it only does it when I've been riding under 2 minutes and speeds under such and such.

Did you slap the guy around? He was playin you like a punk. Nobody does that to another man, nobody except for punks. As soon as the kickstand would have touched the ground I would have been on him like a cheap suit.
What are you doing letting some d*ckhead ride your bike? Hopefully you learned your lesson.
*** far as the brakes go, follow sixhundredrr's advice. Take a close look at the pads, if they are not worn down they could be glazed over.

If your pads are good, then I would say that this guy put a "glaze" on your pads. You can do 2 things if this is the case. 1; remove the pad and lightly sand it. Just scuff the surface. 2; you can put some silicone gasket sealant between your caliper and your pad. This will absorb the vibrations causing the squealing.
