Would you drop a friend that smokes and drinks b/c they are very tempted & will do anything other people do?

Hey man, that person which u are talking about, wants to be in the center of attention. That's why he's doing those things. You know, that smoking kills, and maybe he does too, but he doesn't realize it. I would recommend that if he is a BEST friend, than u should tell him these things. If he doesen't quit smoking or drinking, u should sepparate a while. Be rough on him. If he still doesn't quit, bye-bye.

yes...who would hang around with a person like that
Reply:I think you need to rephrase your question.Now are you asking if someone if YOU should drop a friend because they smoke and drink and that YOU are tempted to do what their doing? Well, i personally have friends who still smoke and drink, but i dont let them do that around me, if it bothers you tell them.
Reply:I have all sorts of friends...intelligent, down right stupid, funny ...dead serious...drinkers ...drug users...Church goers...I befriend anyone unless they betray our friendship...sure I hang out with those who are closest to me but still keep in contact with all of them.
Reply:i will advise them first and if they dont listen i would drop them lke a bad habit.
Reply:depends on what kind of friend u are. U don't have to do the same things as your friend to accept the way they are in the things they do.


the only reason I'd drop a friend that does stuff that I don't do is if they get me involved invouluntarily into their crap, like bringing peeps to my house that would steal from me or sumthing like that.


I guess it would also depend on what u have invested in that person. do they do right by u? do they respect where u r coming from and not bring around peeps that u don't approve of for your lifestyle?


It would also depend on your definition of a friend I guess.
Reply:yes, but take into consideration that the person may not be able 2 help it. some people, when they get around others, act like that person they are around. its like they take in a little of that person/people.
Reply:No, b-cuz I am a real friend, I would do all that I could to help that person. And them being tempmted is actually kind of a bonus. Because If you do the right thing and set ur own trend, Then he/she will more than likely follow you if you are being a good example. And if he/she was truly YOUR friend, they would take your advice and try to change their wrong to right, yano?
Reply:If I was some kind of uptight religious freak, I guess
Reply:No, if someone is a loyal friend, that's all that really matters. A true friend should never be judgmental. One of the best things about having a friends is being able to talk to them with out them being a drag about it.
Reply:No, because if they're that susceptible to peer pressure then they obviously need a level-headed friend like you in their life. If you really had their best interest at heart you'd allow them to explore and make mistakes - be there to talk to them when they need it, judgment free and without saying "I told you so".
