Remember putting down someone dreams like being a writer is not being a true friend A friend is there to boost you up and encourage dreams even if he is doing it in his spare time find him an address or something he can send in a poem.....never tell him its stupid!!!

I find that my best friends are the ones who are honest with me. They are the one's that tell me "it stinks" just to save me from humiliation. Like you said, your friend should've tried to encourage you also and respect your dreams. If they don't understand what you do, they should be honest enough to let you know they are not qualified to offer an opinion. The dream of being a writer like anything else, it is only a dream if you don't do it. Don't give up over one human being's opinion whatever you do.

Oh I agree with you totally about being honest...and value any friend who tells me there honest opinion ..and a real friend accepts their opinion:) i was actually commenting on another post and did not know how to do it...I am new and just figuring things out it was about the person saying thats its dumb to follow dreams of being a poet..I thank you for your comment and agree with you on if they r not qualified to offer an opinion or they can not respect your dreams and goals ...do not try and break them down we have enough of that going on around us its time to build each other up...ne ways....thanks for your comment:)

That's a bit harsh. I think I could selectively tell them an honest opinion if what they were doing wasn't up to speed, but then again, any job/career requires patience and even writting takes time to perfect, but stupid?

What about workshops on writting skills? of have them write for some online places that give a pretty fair judgment of what they are looking for. I know several if you want to pass them on. Since these other sites are earning sites, I don't want to list them here (I believe that's against guidelines) but would be more than happy to provide those to you in a PM if you'd like.

No, I don't think anyone is stupid for having a dream. They just need the right tools to get them there.
