Friendship Essay
Question: Should friends be honest with each other, even if a truthful comment could be hurtful?
In this essay it will cover a few steps on: how to get friends, how to be nice, being to blunt, recovering friendships, and over the line.
When you get friends you should treat them with respect. Respect is the number 1 way to get friends. Getting friends is not a contest on how many friends you can get it is about caring for other people. Most people get friends for popularity, presents, or just for complements. That is not what friends are for.
Being nice to your friends will make them be nice to others and you will get more friends. Being nice is hard you might say or do something wrong. To be nice you compliment and don't expect them back, give gifts out of kindness, or give them company if your friends are down.
Being to blunt can cause anger, pain, enemies, and no friends. If you are to blunt ask your self if it would hurt you. Mostly what you say or do your friends ponder and never forget. You can be some what blunt to prevent them from getting embarrassed.
To recover friendships it is hard most friends will except your forgiveness, but others don't. To recover a friendship you should write them a note telling how sorry you are and mean it. If you don't mean it you might end the friendship again.
It is bad when you cross the line for example talking behind their backs, lying, cheating, gossip, and more. When you have over done it is hard to gain trust from all your friends again. Crossing the line is the worst thing you can do to a friendship. Just don't talk about your friends behind their backs keep it to your self.
When you are being blunt just don't be to hard or mean and don't tell them in the open where everyone can hear you go some where quiet.
