My friend has just decided that he would like to join the army. I think this is crazy because he is really sensitive and I don't think he could handle it. It doesnt really help matters that I really like like him. I don't want him to go, I'm scared something bad will happen to him or that he'll be killed. I really don't think he should go because of the way he is. What should I say to him to stop him going, I really don't think he would be able to survive it.

Don't keep thinking that "he'll get himself killed", that just makes things worse. Think about how much he would be helping our country. If he joins the army, maybe he has a bravery about him you just haven't seen. Besta Luck [ CraziForRey619's advice column | Ask CraziForRey619 A Question ]

He has to go through training first and testing to make sure he's ready to be in the army. Sometimes people join for scholarships to colleges too so maybe tell him about that idea. Talk to him. You could tell him you're worried about the whole army thing, and if you want you could tell him you like him too. (Only if you're ready for that though.) For now, just relax, I'm sure you're friend will be fine...

mysticpixie05 answered Friday March 4 2005, 4:32 pm: that is not something for you to really decide. if this is want he wants to do with his life, then that totally awesome of him. there is nothing wrong with joining the army. infact, it shows that he cares about whats going on in the world and that he wants to be part of it. i'd give bonus points to this guy!
(if you want to talk to someone who fights for our country.. let me know i can give you his comlumn name). [ mysticpixie05's advice column | Ask mysticpixie05 A Question ]

Kr4z3y_Ch3lly answered Friday March 4 2005, 4:11 pm: Well seriously...its his disition and if he wants to be in the army then he should be. Because that is SO awsome if he wants to join to fight for his contry AND the contry YOUR living in..So practically hes protecting you and everyone else in the nation...No offence but your being kind of selfish for not wanting him to go and do a good thing AND doing something he WANTS to do...Im not trying to be mean what so ever so dont get that idea im just saying it strait forward...Im sure he'll survive it the sensitive ones are actually the strongest ones! Dont worry about him not surviving and dont tell him he shouldnt go because hes doing an amazing thing and its not your right to tell him what to do...And you saying "I really don't think he would be able to survive it." isnt a very good or positive attitude to have for your friend not to mention a guy you LIKE...So dont be selfish and be happy for him! He can write you everyday and you can write him back...If you dont think him going into the army to defend our country is a good thing...You need a reality check...Im sorry for being so harsh but im just saying the truth!! I dont think its right for you to be telling him what to do or deciding for him what hes going to do with his life so let him make his own decisions...Sorry again for the forwardness!

twizzler2 answered Friday March 4 2005, 4:07 pm: well you cant really decide for your friend what he does in his life, instead you can talk to him about how you are concerned about his safety. and that he is a really good friend and how much it would impact you if he left, just tell him your feelings about the whole situation or else he won't know. Although you are supposed to support your friends, so tell him that you support him but that you are concerned..i hope all goes well and i hope i helped a bit *twizz [ twizzler2's advice column | Ask twizzler2 A Question ]
