I am always honest with my best friend. We know we are not always going to agree on everything. We agree to disagree and let it go at that. I love her enough to be honest with her and would hope she feels the same.

I am truthful to all my friends. The truth does hurt sometimes, but if their are rumors and such floating around about a certain friend of mine, they have the right to know, if they weren't aware of it. I find that a lot of people get angry when they hear of a rumor that was going around about them and their friends know about it, but didn't tell. I think that would hurt the friendship a bit and make that person wonder if their friends were ever really friends to begin with. I don't make it a thing to go around saying things that may hurt my friends, but I think they have the right to know something through a friend, before they hear something bad from a stranger.

I would tel the truth to my friend only if he is not going to get hurt by it. In other words A LIE WHICH SAVES A LIFE IS BETTER THAN THOUSAND TRUTHS

I am always as honest as possible with my friends. If it's a case where a little white lie won't hurt - ie, my opinion on a new haircut or sweater, etc. - then sometimes I let one slip, although I try to be as honest as possible even with those (complimenting the color or something, anything!)
When it comes to things that really matter, though - I am always, always honest with my friends. Sometimes that means telling them something they don't want to hear, so I always do so with as much tact as possible. I've never lost a friend over being honest with them, even when our views on something differed. Needless to say, I feel that honesty is very important in a true friendship.

i will tell the truth if the truth does not hurt more than a lie will. In other words i will lie but only to protect

Ya i would prefer being honest with ma friends rather than cover things up..
i think its better to tell d truth even if its a sure suffering.. if u think a particular person as ur friend then u should share all things .. no matter good or bad..
it will really hurt them if they come to know abt something tat u ve hidden through some1 else..
never hide anything in a true relationship..tats wat i feel...
happy postings!!

As much as I can I'm always telling the truth to my friend.
If I tell him lies sooner or later he can find it anyway. I dont want to be branded as a liar.
This is much harder than saying, I do lie occasionally cant help it. :( :( but I consider it as "white lie" hehe.
