Rule Breaking

[HSMndLKfan92]

Not too long ago, I had to help a friend in desperate need of advice and support. In order to be there for my friend, I had to break a rule my parents had set up for me ages ago. This worked out well for awhile; my parents had no idea what was going on, and I was able to continually be there for my friend. Now, I know what I was doing was wrong, very wrong, but one thing I cannot stand, is seeing one of my best friends, or any of my friends, at their worst. However, when I finally confessed to breaking that rule, I got in serious trouble for doing so. Which leads me to this:

Would you ever break a rule, any rule, to help a friend in need?
Elaborate.

Well, depends on what rule it is, I would NEVER take drugs or something bad like that.
But, it really depends.

i agree with ^^.

hey jam. would you be interested in tell us (or me) what you did??

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

No, not really.
I'm not giving anyone restrictions on what the situations should be about.
Hence, 'elaborate.'
Give examples.

Yeah I would
My friends mean everything to me
Rules...eh not so much

I'd break a rule if my friend was in serious need. If it was just something small, like her getting in trouble for, let's say, being out past curfew or something, no. If it was like major, like she wanted to go out with a guy and wanted me to "provide her with cover" and I'd do it. I'd understand. I'm pretty sure I would, at least.
But taking drugs for a friend, no. Never will I ever take drugs for a friend. If a friend wants you to do drugs or smoke they're not your friend. They're your enemy.
I would do a lot for a friend, though.

if my friend was doing drugs and said i had to do them too to still be friends with them, i most definatly not do drugs with them.

if my friend had a serious/non serious problem and was talking to me about it on the phone/IM and i needed to help them, I would break Cerfew. or however you spell that.

I don't think doing drugs falls under the category of "helping a friend in need."
And yes, if I had to break a rule to help a friend, I definitely would.

 

[DramaQueen]

well, i do occasionally break the rules.

not that my family has a set bunch of rules/


but i do skip class sometimes, sometimes i come in late, i don't clean my room often, i don't do all myhomework, i eat stuff i'm not supposed to eat, i spend money on stuff i should'nt spend it on. I do "bad" stuff sometimes...I definitley don't stick to all the rules

but i AM 18....
so it's not a HUGE deal.

my parents know they can trust me where it matters.


i break the rules anyway....so if a friend needed me to...of course i would!
unless it could get me in SERIOUS trouble, or break my parents trust.

Depends on the situation. It's hard to say.

Well, for instance,
One of my friends was going through a rough time and was taking drugs, she told me that if i did it with her, it would make her feel better and more comfortable with the situation. So, I think that would kinda be helping a friend, but instead of taking drugs to help, I talked to some people about it that could truly help her.

 

[DisGirlAllie]

If it wasn't something illegal then in a heartbeat for my friend.

 

[marypops!]

it depends on the situation and the rule i'd be breaking.

 

[patchesmommy]

Sure. I wouldn't feel great about breaking a rule.

As long as it didn't involve guns or drugs, skipping school, sneeking out of my house.

 

[patchesmommy]

it depends on the situation and the rule i'd be breaking.

Yeah same for me.
