We all know the saying "Friends Don't let Friends Drive Drunk" And if we are a true friend we stick to that, I know I do but anyway here's one for you what about "Friends Don't Let Friends Starve" Well just say that you lost your job and were running low on cash and had hardly any food in the house and your friend knew that and you had always helped them out in times of need. and they don't offer to help any? That is not a friend is it? 
Say they asked you well what did you have to eat for lunch today after you already told them that you can't get to your job no money for gas or the bus and no money for food and you told them well I had a can of corn and that's all I had today, and they just responded ga lee, but do nothing? And knowing you were there so many times for them what would you do?

They say that true friends can be tested in times of need. If your friends did not helped you during your time of need, he is not a true friend. True friend sticks with you through thick and thin.

Hi ja hernandez:I think that's a hard experience. They say you know who are your real friends in teh bad days, not when you are in your best moment. If a friend of mine don't even care about how I am when I am in a bad moment I can be sure he/she is not a real friend.

I agree!! It can take years to find out if you really have a true friend in this world and that is sad but true. Have a good day!!

Sometimes friends are a little dense when it comes to these things. I do have family and friends that sometimes get to where they dont have that much money and things are tight. But!!!! If we see them smoking or they are going out drinkin or out to eat all the time insteadof buying groceries they are on their own. As for not having gas for work. No one from your work lives close enough do you csn hitch a ride? Or how far from work? If 5 miles or less walk. But remember if they are true friends you shouldnt havea problem asking for a little help if they can.

I have been down that road with a ride to work and nothing is free I don't mind helping out with gas but there is a certain point where I say are you kidding? I am not driving to another state!! L.O.L.

Yes this is truly not a friend as I would certainly ask immediately if there was anything even as minimal as I possibly could, as I would not allow someone I care about to be starving. Even if I could not help monetarily I would find anything in my cupboards and or ask someone to help me help them.
So if this were my situation, hmmm, I would not be happy at all and simply tell the person, well thanks for your concern, I guess I will not eat tomorrow then. Sort of joking but the honest truth though because I can't imagine having helped someone and they not care for us back.

So true I have always helped friends that I have when they have had nothing to eat but this makes me not want to talk to the person any more at all.

In my experience only relatives help in such situations. Friends rarely help. It depends on relationship one has. I wish such a situation should not come any of the mylottians.

I do not want to judge this friend as he/she may be going through some financial problems as well. These days, life is tough and we should be responsible for our own life. As much as you like to think that your friend will be able to help yu in times of need, you should not depend on them. If they would offer any help then that is good, if not, you should understand. If they are a true friend, even if you or they do not have any money, a person whom you can talk to about your problems and give you pieces of advise is a true friend for me.

I have helped my friends that I thought were my friends one too many times but when I need help it is like they are not there, I have learned ways around things when I am in need and I bet they would not know how to handle a situation like this at all all they do is cry, and I am done trying to help people that I thought were my friends I know how to manage things on my own when times are hard.
