troublemaker friends

What sort of trouble does he make? I'm sorry to say this but if that friend gets you in trouble too, I think you should stay away from him. But try to advise him first and try to see if it works.

if you really care for him, you have to tell him the problem and give him pieces of advice. If you are his real friend, you will accept him for who he really is but, accepting his personality doesn't mean that you will not help him change his bad attitude. If he is your real friend, he will listen to your advice no matter what. Friendship is about care, understanding, acceptance and helping each other.

It depends on how long he or she has been a friend of mine.. if it is along time friend i would continue understanding he person, since i believe that there is a reason for someone's behavior.. Maybe the friend just has a huge problem and now is a good time to support him or her.

Well, if he's a real friend he will not put me in a situation that would make me feel uncomfortable and awkward. And he/she will at least listen to what I have to say and not take offense because as my friend he/she should know that I only have his/her best interests in mind. That doesn't mean of course that we will cease being friends or I will never be there for him/her. It's just me not encouraging his/her being a troublemaker or bringing me more problems than I can chew.

I don't dwell this kind of person. I will rather avoid this person before I will be in big trouble too. Have a great day!
