And if they get mad at you they wasn't a good friend anyways if you stick up for them all the time and they get mad at you for helping them. I hope this help.

jammy12 answered Saturday February 24 2007, 7:15 pm: If you're a best friend or REALLY GOOD friend with this person, I'll say NO! Friends are there to guide and what's the sense lying to them. Don't do it in a mean way but help your friend realise what is right and why she's wrong. [ jammy12's advice column | Ask jammy12 A Question ]
Alin75 answered Saturday February 24 2007, 5:43 pm: I tend to agree with the people that wrote "no", or "not always". I just wanted to add one thing. The most important thing here, the thing that differentiates you as a friend from a random person, is how you handle it. Dont go against your friend in public, dont put him/her in a difficult situation, etc. Instead, pull them aside and explain why you are unable to support them in this matter.
But certainly I dont think friendship implies that you are obliged to stick up for someone when they are wrong. In most cases I think the best thing is just to stay out of it. [ Alin75's advice column | Ask Alin75 A Question ]
christina answered Saturday February 24 2007, 4:17 pm: Not always. If what they're saying is completely idiotic, people are gonna think you're the same way if you stand for it with them, but if they're not completely wrong, then yes. It just depends what's being said & the situation at hand. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
hollister_lover09 answered Saturday February 24 2007, 1:24 pm: it depends. if you know that they are 100% wrong, then <u>I</u> would let them fight their own battles. But if they have some right in it, then try to help them out by pointing out that they we're right on that one thing.. by being a good friend doesnt mean ALWAYS sticking up for them when their wrong.
