i believe everyone needs a true friend to confide in. However if you are always needing the shoulder to cry about the same thing everytime its time for a change. I will be the one crying on your shoulder saying listen, i love you but its time for you to grow up a little more. Like i don't mind listening or helping anyone but if your not trying to help yourself after all the crying this is a waist of time. I would not be a true friend if i didn't tell you the truth. :)

yes, no matter what trouble, one must overcome it by himself at the end. So to be strong, to face the challenge by oneself is very a important thing to learn. you are a good friend to tell your friend these. I think he/she will learn it and will overcome the trouble one day.

I completely agree with you. In today's world we need to be mature and able to take care of ourselves. Of course there will be a few bumps on the way and it is perfectly alright to lean on someone you trust, but it should not become a crutch. You will invariably become a cripple and not be able to handle anything. You would wallow in self pity which is poisonous to your self growth.

I agree with you. twooten. A true friend should tell the truth even if it may hurt but the end result will be well for him / her.
