Ok so one of my friends is going through something, well rather doing something, that in my opinion will not turn out the way they hope. In fact in all probability it will make their life worse. I am now in a perdicament whether or not to tell the person how i feel about what is happening. On one hand it may save them from the problems that in my opinion are in the future, and on the other hand it may destroy our friendship, and i don't want that to happen. So i guess i'm kinda stuck between and friend and a hard place. Some people know of what i am talking about and some don't, but either way if anyone can give me their opinion on what i should do it would really be appreciated.
Thanks
Love Ya'll

I heva no idea what you're reffering to so my opinion might not matter... but honesty should be a big part of friendship. And as a friend you should (in love) talk to this person and make sure they know that you're not judging them or anything but that you're trying to help them because you love them and you will do everything that you can to be there for them and help them out no matter what. If they get mad at that then they're in the wrong.. not you.
I hope it all goes well
Luv Ya

In other words: Being honest with your opinion might hurt like heck, but if you are really approaching the person in friendship and love, then your words are valid and your opinion and advice truly matter. Don't turn into an enemy of friendship and truth by condoning actions you know are wrong. It's all about the love though, even tough love.
Geeze Courtney... You always gotta say things better than me! jk
Wow thanks both of you!
I really appreciate the advice.
Luv You Guys!
honestly, if this person doesnt see it, they dont see it. you cant change that. im not saying not to say anything to this person, but im not saying do it. you have to make your best guess. i know the feeling. yes it will prob tick this person off...but if it is on your heart you talk to them.
just know that i want to change the world. i want to change people and how they think. i want to change people's feelings and how they act. but i cant. ive realized this. i can do my best and live by example, but i cant change people. espically if that person doesnt see that anything is wrong with the situation that there are in. this is the ignorance of the world. kinda like legg says, if the people cant accept that they cant dance, they will never be teachable. if a person doesnt think they are doing something to hurt themself, they arent going to do anything to change it. if you do decide to talk to this pewrson, they might get pissed...it is likely. but it shows that you care. and often when you piss people off, it make them think, or dwell on the situation. what im trying to say is that results arent always immeadiate.
also i know some people that had to go through heartbreak and pain before they realized what they did was stupid. soem people have to hit rick bottem so the only direction they can go is up. and i know it is sad because you obviopusly love this person, and you dont want them hurt, but sometimes that what it takes.
sorry this is so long, and kinda jumps everywhere. i hope this helps just a little bit? if you cant decide what to do, pray. sometimes all you can do is pray.
