What exposure settings did you use for them? Are you shooting in auto, or manual?
IMO, the ones where you are using the flash are pretty harshly lit, especially the second one.

DoF is unecessarily shallow in most. The flash shots are brutally harsh. Composition needs work.

These are ok snapshots and/or "playing around" images if you're trying to learn settings & setups. They're not art...

I'm guessing you're using on-camera flash and wide open apertures. If you can bounce the flash, do so, even if it means sticking a 3x5 card in front of the flash. Also stop down 1-2 stops, i.e. close down the aperture a bit.

Try to frame your subjects so that you get all of them in the shot, and try placing the off-center.

Everything is way too centered. Try playing with the "rule of thirds".

I'm not super fond of the PP. The colors just seem distorted and the white balance looks too warm or too dark.

Really try to work on your focusing more. More than one shot is out of focus and it's the most important aspect of a photo IMO.

And for pete's sake...BOUNCE YOUR FLASH!
