I depends on what she did. If she's cheating on her boyfriend or whatever, something minor then sure-maybe. BUt if she did something illegal or dangerous then no I wouldn't lie for her.

I think it would depend on what the friend did. If it was something minor like tell her husband that she liked his tie when she hated it, I would lie for her. If she robbed a bank, on the other hand, I wouldn't.

It depends on what they did, to whom and why they did it.

If my friend is guilty, I will never lie on behalf of them. I will ignore any comments that i have to make. I will try to convince him/her of the mistake or whatever he did. If he doesnt listen, I just let him do what ever but I will not defend. But if he is innocent and needs my defending, I will be definitely there for him.

It would depend on what he/she did. If it was something really bad then yes I would tell. But if it was something stupid then I'd lie.

Well never say NEVER but I highly doubt I would lie for them if they did it. I think to tell a lie is about the lowest thing a person can do and will only get you in deeper trouble.

I'll protect him. But meanwhile I'll try to find solution to the trouble caused and try to being compromise between both the parties.

if a good friend did something bad and iwas asked about it i would say i dont know what you are talking about but then i would talk to my friend and hope they would do the right thing and if it were something that involved other people gettin hurt i would tell my friend you need to do the right thing before others get hurt or you will force me to

It has happened with me once. I am n't telling to anyone the most important secrets of my that friend. People ask about her to me but i say that i do n't tell anything to anyone and just say that no, i am n't sure, i have no idea about it. U know "a friend in need is a friend in deed".
