Question!

A friend of yours has a problem. A really big, bad problem that makes them do things they don't want to do, including hurting other people. You find out about that problem.

Do you:

A. Try to find a way to help them and support them and be there for them, only giving up if and when it's obvious they can't be helped.

or

B. Be terrible and mean and tell them not to talk to you or anyone you know ever again, then not bother telling any of their real friends about their problem so they can still get some help.

Definitely needing guidance here so if anyone has any experience in something like this, that'd be awesome.

	Depends on the situation, I guess. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Pretty much listed the situation already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Back home I was in a similar situation, I suppose. But he pushed it too far, there was nothing I could do to change it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So he killed somebody else you consider a friend? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No he started to believe that killing people like me, getting rid of us was a good option. I tried to make him see good but the moment he called me the name that those against us use, it was obvious he wasn't going to change. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Right. So you're saying a difference in beliefs means it's okay to go with Option B? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm saying when you've exhausted all options and they're out to kill your kind, there's nothing you can do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inafivepoundbag 2011-03-29 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	Uh, that's pretty much what Option A says. Try to help them and only give up if you really, really can't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goodatcharms 2011-03-29 06:28 pm UTC (link)
	If your help wont change anything, and there's nothing more you can do, then yeah give up. So Option A. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inafivepoundbag 2011-03-29 06:29 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. (Reply to this) (Parent)
