AND MOST TEENS DONT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. The truth is, that a lot of times these two can get confused. You may have a friend who is going out with a boy and you see that the boy is not treating her right. Or you may have a friend that is already engaged to a guy who has a baby mama already and you see trouble brewing in the future. Or maybe your friend has an eating disorder. In all of these cases you have 2 choices. You can either tell your friend what you are thinking or you can let them go through with it. The bad part about number 2 is that your friend may end up in a situation that could have been avoided if you had told her the truth. But how do you break it to the friend without crushing them? This is especially hard if your friend is super excited about her engagement to her new boyfriend: C. Or worse, if your friend has an eating disorder and they tell you to swear you will not say a word.
I am in a similar situation. I know a girl from my school and she is my current friend. She just got engaged to a guy who already has a baby by another mother. The baby mom is still alive but the boy is separated from her. He is currently 3 years older than my friend. She is really really happy about it but I have a feeling it may cause her some problems. I want to talk to her about it but I don’t know how to save her from heartbreak. But I always heard that the truth prevails.
SO what would you do in these situations?
