Question Posted Wednesday February 9 2005, 8:01 pm
my friend steels stuff from stores, and it really bothers me. I'm afraid that if im with her when she does it ill get in trouble for it too. She trusspasses onto peoples property too. I dont think that she is a good friend for me, we get along really well and always have fun when we're together but i dont want to be her friend when she does that stuff. What should i do?

Mercy_x_Me answered Wednesday February 9 2005, 9:10 pm: Well, you really have two choices. But before these choices, you need a realization. If you don't get yourself out of the situation, later on your going to be upset! So act now and cover your own butt! Your choices are...
1. Tell your friend how you feel. Tell her stealing stuff and trespassing isn't going to get her far. Tell her the more she does it, the harder it's going to be to stop, b/c it will become a habit. Tell her your telling her because you care and friends help eachother, their not supposed to go down together.
2. If all else fails, she wont listen, you need a new friend/friends. It may be hard but little by little you need to stop hanging out with her, or being really friendly. Of course you dont have to completely ignore her but I would keep a safe distance.

You make perfect sense you just need to set your boundaries and talk to her about it! No matter how hard it might be-trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]
