Courtney answered Sunday July 11 2004, 9:44 pm: Alright these are some words that you should say to your friend .
" You're my friend and all, but we have to talk
about the influence your new friend is having on you . I know she's pretty cool, but she can really get you into trouble, and I'm sorry if I'm acting like a parent who's getting on your nerves but you have to know this . Your new friend shouldn't try to tell you to steal stuff because, you and only you choose to steal stuff not your friend . It's your decision and you could get into serious trouble . You could go to DJJ and spend the rest of your term for Grand Auto Theft in prison . It's not worth it . You have alot more potential but anyway it's up to you what you want to do with your life . I'm your friend and what you want to do with your life is up to you, but even if I am not a 100% down with you , I am there for you when ever you need me . Juat think about it" .
Sometimes your friends have to learn the hard way . If she doesn't listen then and she continues to steal, then she will get caught and she'll pay for her actions and this is nothing to play with . This is something to worry about . If she doesn't stop stealing with her friend, then you NEED TO TALK TO YOUR 12 YEAR OLD FRIENDS PARENTS . SHE MAY NOT UNDERSTAND , BUT LATER SHE WILL AND SHE PROBABLY WILL THANK YOU . IT'S A REBELOIUS PART AND TIME OF HER LIFE, BUT U HAVE THE POWER TO STOP THIS . SO THE QUESTION IS, DO YOU LOVE YOUR FRIEND ENOUGH TO RISK TELLING HER PEARENTS ABOUT THE 12 YEAR OLD GIRL AND HER FRIEND? DO YOU LOVE YOUR FRIEND ENOUGH TO RISK YOUR FRIENDSHIP OR HER GOING TO JAIL WHEN KNOWING YOU CAN STOP THIS BY SIMPLY TELLING HER PARENTS ?
If her parents do nothing about it, then whatever happens is not your fault because, u did whatever was in your power and that girl have to live with stealing and not listening to u for the rest of her life . Think about it . It's complicated but so simple . Talk to her. If that doesn't work then talk to her parents . If that doesn't work , well so let it be .
