So gemsy is appeased! :D
"If I were a true friend what would I do...
When a friend turns up late continually
Ask them to turn up on time and factor in their tardiness into plans
When someone criticises my parents
Listen (probably biased towards my parents), and if justified try and sort out the problem, if not jump to their defence
When a friend asks me to go to a party and I don’t want to go
Say no thanks and justify why, or be pursuaded!
When I hear a friend name calling
Depends who they're calling names and why
When I see a friend laughed at for not taking a cigarette
Laugh at the laughing one, possibly call names myself
When a friend asks me to copy my homework
Depends if they have just been lazy! Probably let them copy...once
When I see a friend shoplifting
Be shocked to shit and tell them not to be a twat
When a friends boyfriend/girlfriend asks me to 'go out' with him/her
Tell them not to be a twat- and probably unload a whole load of vitreol on them. Even if I fancied them.
When two good friends of mine start fighting each other
Stop them
When I see a friend of mine pressurised to have an alcoholic drink
support their right to choose
When a friend wants to watch a different tv channel
turn it over probably or find something we both liked
When the father of one of my school friends dies
be there for them
When a friend asks to borrow some money from me
Probably lend it to them, depending on how much it was, would depend on wether I would expect it back or write it off...
When I catch someone letting the air out of a friends bike tyre
tell them off and make them pump it back up (motorbike- really have a massive go at them!)
When my brother decides to run away from home after an argument with dad
worry about them constantly try and help them reconcile, probably shout at both of them a bit in the process.
When a friend asks me to lie on their behalf
depends on the ramifications, probably wouldn't do it would rather just say nothing if I could get away with it.
When mum, who is divorced, introduces the new person in her life
Say hi and vet him to see if he's good enough for my mum. :)
When I see a friend being bullied
Step in if they needed to tag team applaud if they were giving it back
When I see a friend stealing money
Again with the shocked to shit! Make them out it back, unless it was enough for a ticket on the gravy train for both of us! :D and originally belonged to someone I didn't care about enough to stop us.
When my sister always wants to tag along
I was the sister! Although find things to do with the sibling and some things exclusively friend stuff would be the way to go.
When I find a friend in tears
Hugs and cuddles, then see if I can help
When a friend has an accident and has to use a wheel chair
Be really really upset for them, find stuff we could still do together and ways I could help
When I see a friend bullying someone
Distract them/ diffuse the situation and then pull them up on it when we were alone
When a friend is angry about something
Let them be, then cheer them up/ let them rant, accept people can't be hppy and bouncy all the time
When I hear someone criticising my best friend
see the parent one above!
