Would you speak
the truth or sugarcoat it?
If your friend he or she get themselvs in deep *kitten* and they are yelling at you to help them out but helping them is against your morals and faith. Would you help them out?

You should not compromise your values. You said that they got themselves into it. Some people will not learn until they've suffered the true consequences of their actions. Be there and support them emotionally, but don't let them drag you down into the filth.0 -
I think there's a lot of factors in here that would impact me- is this a good friend, or is it just a friend? How long have you been friends? Is this the first time, and an honest mistake, or is this something that happens frequently? Is this something that's going to impact your family? Is this something fixable? Is this something that you've brought up before and said that it concerns you, and they did it anyway? If you help, what troubles are you going to encounter? Without knowing the exact trouble (and I'm not prying), it's really hard to weigh in here.... I think deep down you have to go with your gut, and tease out how much you are sacrificing of yourself to help someone else, and if it's worth it.0

I very rarely sugar coat anything. If you can't tell them how you really feel are they really a friend?0

If the helping part goes against your morals, explain it to the friend and maybe offer a second option of help that you can give with a clear conscience. If the screw up itself is the thing that went against your morals,well, people screw up. Forgive her, help in any way you can with a clear conscience without enabling the friend to keep screwing up. Except under extremely rare circumstances, do not loan money. It screws up more relationships than it helps. Hope everything turns out for the better for your friend.0

You're about as cryptic as is possible. What's this "truth" you keep telling her that she won't listen to? What has she done that is so bad as to make you want to kill a 6-years friendship?0 -
She hurted me so many times...and I just stood there and took it and kept quiet about it. But when I stand up for myself she gets so upset. I do need to grow up and let this go. Im too smart for this.0

I am not at liberty to discuss the depth of honesty which should be used with out details. No details, no advice.0

I think it depends on the issue, and whether it's really an issue of "morals and faith," as you say, rather than "your own personal beliefs."
There's a difference between someone who robbed a bank and killed a man (can apply standard morality and ethical clauses to the situation) and someone who wants emotional support without judgment about coming out about his or her sexuality (is truly your personal belief and saying something may be more hurtful to the recipient and only serves to make you feel better).0 -
I don't have any friends, I wouldn't go to the mat for. Absolutely nothing I wouldn't do for my wife or daughters, whether it was illegal, immoral of life threatening.
Got one brother, I wouldn't help out. Can't be helped. Lifetime of bad choices has brought him to a place in his life where he is hanging on by a thread and could be homeless at any time. Can't help him. Won't help him. Cut him loose about 5 years ago.
I'm in or I'm out. When I'm in; I'm all the way in.0 -
I'm not honest enough. I've got people who drive me nuts, never fixing their own problems. like dogs chasing their tails.
I don''t have the guts to say "don''t you see what you are doing is insane"0
