What if?


MommyToAshley wrote: Rocky's post got me thinking....

If you had a friend that committed a crime, would you speak up? What would you do, would you call the police or just speak to them?

If you have a friend that is doing something you consider disrespectful, would you talk to them about it?

If you have a friend that was doing something that embarrassed you, would you say something to them about it?

msoulz replied: A friend who committed a crime - I couldn't stay quiet about it, but it depends upon the crime as to whether I say something to the person or report it. If she stole a candy bar from the store I would talk to her and never go to the store with her again but if it were something more sinister I would likely report it.

I would talk to a friend about disrespectful behavior and embarassing situations but I would do so kindly to get the message across without hurting or embarassing my friend.

Good question!

mckayleesmom replied: If you had a friend that committed a crime, would you speak up? What would you do, would you call the police or just speak to them? If it was something that didn't harm anyone, I would just talk to them. If it was something harmful to themselves or others then yes I would turn them in, probably anonymous though.

If you have a friend that is doing something you consider disrespectful, would you talk to them about it? Yes. I had a friend that was very promiscuous (sp) in high school and would always tell people about her little sexual flings in detail. One time we were at a basketball game and she said something and I just straight out told her that I loved her, but I didn't want to hear about it anymore. I told her that my biggest fear was going to be finding out she had a disease and I really hope she changed. We stayed friends and she straightened up a little...Now she is doing really good...in a long term relationship...etc.

If you have a friend that was doing something that embarrassed you, would you say something to them about it?
Yes. And if they didn't change I would just not go out in public with them anymore.

If you have a friend that is doing something you consider disrespectful, would you talk to them about it? Nope I would quit being there friend.
You lay down with dogs you get up with fleas. See I told you I was raised old school

luvmykids replied: If you had a friend that committed a crime, would you speak up? What would you do, would you call the police or just speak to them? I would speak up but to whom and how loudly would depend on the nature of the crime.

If you have a friend that is doing something you consider disrespectful, would you talk to them about it? Yes, imho a good solid friendship allows for that.

If you have a friend that was doing something that embarrassed you, would you say something to them about it? Definitely, but I'd try to do it gracefully.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I would definitely talk to the fried about it... because as a friend, I'm there for them...but also..knowing about the "crime"... NOT telling authorities would be a crime on MY part. Of course, stealing a candy bar, although wrong, wouldn't warrant a phone call to the cops from me... but abusing a child definitely would, and I've done it in the past. called the authorities I mean, not abused a child.

If a friend is doing something disrescpectful, yes, i'd talk to them about it, I wouldn't just quit being friends with them right away. What if they don't even know they're being disrespectful? But, if I talk to them about it and they don't care...and continue.. well if it's something I can't deal with... then I'd quit being their friend...

if I had a friend that did something to embarass me, yes, I'd tell them about it.. but I wouldn't put the blame on them...I'm the one that's embarassed. If it's somehting they can control, then i'd ask them to keep it under wraps if they wanted to keep spending time with me. If they don't, then obviously my friendship isn't worth all that much to them.

lisar replied: Embarassing----NO we do it to each other all the time.

Commited a crime---Depends my best friends I would probably have been there doing it with them... But in all honesty it would depend on the crime.

Disrespectul--Heck yea I would tell them. Right in front of the person they were disrespecting.

TheOaf66 replied: If you had a friend that committed a crime, would you speak up? What would you do, would you call the police or just speak to them? I would probably talk to them (depending on the crime)
If you have a friend that is doing something you consider disrespectful, would you talk to them about it? yes

If you have a friend that was doing something that embarrassed you, would you say something to them about it? no I would embarass them more

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Commited a crime - Depends on the crime I guess. Anything minor, I would just stop being their friend. Anything major, I would call the cops and stop being their friend.

Disrespectful - Yes, but in a way that I wasn't pointing any fingers. I would just tell them that they should think twice about what they say and that they have hurt feelings of others. And again, I would have a hard time being their friend.

Embarassed me - Hmmm, probably not. We all have done things that probably embarass a friend here or there. Unless of course they were being disrespectful to a mutual friend or someone in public, that would embarass me and I would tell them that they should be embarassed about their behavior as well.

A&A'smommy replied: If you had a friend that committed a crime, would you speak up? What would you do, would you call the police or just speak to them?

Depends but probably would do both

If you have a friend that is doing something you consider disrespectful, would you talk to them about it?
Of course in a heartbeat

If you have a friend that was doing something that embarrassed you, would you say something to them about it?

wellllll... my friends and I embarrass each other all the time tongue.gif

Crystalina replied: If you had a friend that committed a crime, would you speak up? What would you do, would you call the police or just speak to them?
That would depend on the crime. A minor thing like shoplifting or maybe denting someone's car I would probably not say anything but I would reconsider having that person as a friend because I do not do things like that and would not want to surround myself with anyone who would.

If you have a friend that is doing something you consider disrespectful, would you talk to them about it?
Yes.

If you have a friend that was doing something that embarrassed you, would you say something to them about it?
Yes.

Mommy2BAK replied: Embarassing- Nah thats what friends are for emlaugh.gif

Commited a crime - I guess it would depend on the severity of the crime, if it was something minor I wouldn't do anything.

Disrepectful - yes I would speak up

Calimama replied:
Committed a crime - Depends on the crime, but if it was above stealing the candy bar you mentioned then yes.

Disrespectful- Heck yes.

Embarrassing- Haha no.

gr33n3y3z replied: If you had a friend that committed a crime, would you speak up? What would you do, would you call the police or just speak to them?

I would talk to them and make them do right if they refused then yes I would so nark them out Done it many of times in school.

If you have a friend that is doing something you consider disrespectful, would you talk to them about it?

I would talk to them about it and if they didnt change I would find a better friend

If you have a friend that was doing something that embarrassed you, would you say something to them about it?
