Friends that lie

So you find a flaw in her and decide to throw her out, discard her as your friend? That's not a very friendly thing to do. Whether she's a thief or not, whether she lied to you or not, you've spent 4 years with her. Even if all else was a lie, the time you spent with her as your friend was real. Are you really going to throw it all away just because she made one poor choice in her life, to involve herself in the criminal activity known as thievery? I'm not saying you should forgive and forget. I'm not even saying you should forgive right away. But unless the 4 or more years really meant nothing to you, don't just stop being friends with her. Try to help her. Try to get her to change her life for the better. Don't just abandon because she's involved herself with non lethal yet criminal activities. If it's bad enough that you feel at risk being near her, then that's a different story, but if you are just upset that she's been lying and doing crime, then don't just throw her away. If everybody just throws her away the second they find out, then how can anybody expect the criminal activity to stop? If you really are friends, then try to help her. Even if she doesn't want help, still try to be there for your friend, setting a good example, showing her that there are better ways to live life. Don't just discard of your friendship because of such a small detail, unless you are more than just a little upset and actually feel threatened.
