Hello everyone
I hope everyone have friends and everyone have their stories. if i told you about my story of my friends than you going to laugh on it. i have couple of friends in school time who ask me for money to give a gift to their girl friend, now i can not say to no them and if i gave money to them i am sure it not coming back to me. so what you going to do in this situation? well just follow your heart(because you are in school) dont use your brain. second sometime there is fight between u r good friends at that time which side you want to take? (they both are realy good friends of your).
well this is my story and my school life, i hope everyone have different story and different school life.
we all love our friends and we are stars in eyes of our friends.

I would not give my money to them, instead of money I would give them presents! After all- this is what they were asking for, right? So a good friends should give another friend what it is asking for.
From the other hand: if they are good friends to You- then they would keep up relationship with You even if You refuse to give money to them. Try to refuse your help for 5 times, and if they reduce communication with you: they were only up to your money not your friendship.
Friends come and go, but your reputation stays. Show You are a wise person and try to limit the amount of explotation.

Well, in the first case, it really depends on if I have the money. If I don't have the money to spare (and need to do something more important, like pay a bill or buy groceries), I just tell the truth - I can't afford to lend them money. If I have the money to spare, I lend it to them. Whenever I am lending money to a friend, I always think of it like this: I assume I will never see the money again. Therefore, I won't give a friend money I'm not prepared to never see again. I usually tell the friend that I won't lend it to them, I will GIVE it to them, and to consider it a gift, unless it's a VERY large amount.
And of course, there's the purpose - I'm more likely to lend money to a friend who needs it to buy milk for their kids than someone who wants to buy their girlfriend a pricey but unnecessary gift. However, I've still lent friends money, and some of them have paid it back even when I told them they didn't have to. If they don't pay it back, I don't hold it against them (since it was a gift). The only time I lent money and said I needed it to be paid back (it was a LOT) it was paid back within a month.
I hate borrowing money but the one or two times that I've really had to, my friends have lent it to me. I like to think that this is in return for the times I've done it for them, or the things I've done for them (if I've never lent them money). I've always paid them back, though. In the end, it all evens out.
As for the arguing friends... I've dealt with that... I told them I refused to take sides. I said I would hear out both sides of the argument and tell them what I honestly thought about the situation. Sometimes they get upset, especially when they expect you to take their side, or when you tell one of them "Well, I really think that what you did to (other person) is wrong". I don't consider that "taking sides" though since 9 times out of 10 BOTH friends are wrong for some reason, and nobody is "right". If they turn their back on you for telling them the truth, that hurts, but I think that a REAL friend will tell you the truth about something to keep you from making bad mistakes, and help you correct the situation when you have wronged another person. After all, backing you up when you've actually done something wrong only really hurts you in the long run.
