Is this a poorly written sentence
The point of that is to not get harassed and to not bother your friends with your outfit.
if it is, please rephrase it and point out the mistakes so I don't do them again.

Could you please give us some context? I'm not sure what you mean by "bother your friends with your outfit," and why the same thing that bothers your friends might cause you to get harrassed.

What I'm trying to say is, "the point of asking her to cover up or wear something more appropriate is to not get harassed (in streets by strangers) and to not bother her friends with this too revealing outfit."
This is a hypothetical situation and it is from a dad/mom to his/her daughter.

The point is not to be harassed and not to make your friends uncomfortable because of what you wear.
Note:
not to - OK.
to not - not OK.
Also:
The point is to avoid public harassment. And besides, you should show some consideration for friends of yours who may feel uncomfortable because of what you wear.
