In helping a friend...

hi! juliefaye, in that case at least you have tried your best to help her. As a friend we are willing to give advice if someone ask for it but it doesnt mean she would really follow or do it. The purpose maybe because she is confuse and only need some other opinion so its still up to that person whether she will take your advice. Whatever her decision we should respect it and whatever maybe the result as a friend we are still there to support and comfort a friend. If she was wrong then it is her lesson to learn. Its no use in blaming because it doesnt help at all. Blame just doesnt matter the grand scheme of things.

I believe this happens most of the time. I have also friends who come and seek for advice and find out later that they used their own judgments in which I can hardly justify.In the same manner, sometimes I also do the same. I think, what counts most is that we exerted an effort to help our friends. After all, we are just there to be a friend to comfort and to support whatever our friends decision. As for me, I'll still help her because she is my friend.
