sometimes the only way to be a true friend is to let him sort his own problems out, that way he will have to learn by his mistakes not wait for others to sort him out

I have a friend who is always getting into things and I am always the one they call to handle bail, fights, all that junk..all I can really say to you is don't be a sucker, tell this person you are sick of being the one to get him out of things and if he can't man-up and deal with them on his own for a change, you can't mess with him anymore...

If you are always there for him when he messes up you kinda backing him up in a way and he is using you to clean up after him. If you really want to help him, get yourself away from him, hopefully he will see the light and try to clean up his own mess, if the mess is too big maybe he will stop messing up in the first place.

now that is the type of friend u don't need, a true friend would not get u mixed up in sordid business, a good friend would not put your life in danger

If you keep biling him out he will never see the stupidity of his actions. Plus you risk your own self..help him grow up some by not stepping in next time.

Your friend sounds nohtin but trouble to me and it seems like he keepos putting your life in danger. Maybe it's time to find some new friends and stop hanging out with him. It seems like he keeps using you.

there are plenty of responses which do point out several things with regards to friendship, Friendship how I see it, is being there for someone, what I would do if I was in your situation is pull him to one side whilst having a drink, then just explain how you feel about his actions, and say that in the end someone is going to get hurt, especially if he still remains in that type of business, IF he is any friend, he will heed your advice.

You have to look after yourself first and if the same person is going to keep putting you into these situations then you are best to end the friendship before you find yourself getting hurt.

He cannot be your best friend if he repeatedly embarassing you. Warn him and if he doesn't heed to your warning, keep him out.

If he put you in a danger with him, I dont think you should keep heling him out. Not sure how old your best friend but maybe he should grow up and start take care of himself.

look pal, i can see that you still consider him as your best friend. so i recommend that you hang on coz u will never know when you are in need. if such a situation comes, trust me u can count him out.....

has your friend ever helped you when you needed it? if not then its one sided and you should get out whilst you can. if they have helped you out, then its just bad luck he needs ou and if you are a true friend you would be there through think and thin, not just a fair weather friend.
