What would you do, if you had a friend that needed your help desperately? A friend with a parent, that is very abusive. Not just physically, but emotionally abused as well. Would you lay your neck out on the line and help you friend?
Well for myself, that's exactly what I did. I helped a friend that was in need. In my mind, I was doing something to help someone out. I was able to help this person get into a better situation and allow them to get somewhere in life.
Unfortunately, the grass is not always greener on the other side. Every choice we make in life, has it's rewards and risks. The reward in this situation is I helped a friend out. The risk, I've been looked down on, as if I've done something terrible.
While my friend is living comfortably, I've had to hear from multiple people on what the parent/parents think happened. Now these people are going around and telling everyone it's my fault. It's really sad to be honest.
It's sad, not because of these people labeling me for something I'm not, but sad because I wasn't the only person to help my friend out. So, what's happened here? I've been singled out. The question you have to ask, is why?
That's a question that I have an answer to. When my friend's father has always seen me as a "N", it would explain why I'm labeled the bad guy. It didn't matter if I helped my friend or not, it still was going to be my fault, in their eyes.
So, this leads me to ask the question, "Is it really worth all the drama in helping a friend out in need?" I've gone over that question in my mind multiple times and I've concluded it worth the price I have to pay.
See, I believe in right from wrong and will stickup for anyone that's right in what their attempting to accomplish. Ignorance is something I don't stand for and never will. A person can say whatever they want about me, as their not the one's taking care of me.
It leads me to one last question. How much drama do you take from someone, that claims to be your friend, before you say enough is enough? I've had friends in my life like that, one's that have been envious of me for no reason at all.
Am I suppose to not buy nice things, just so friends of mine don't feel envious? Jealousy is a sickness that a lot of people form in this world and it's something that needs to stop. I would never start ignoring a person because they got something nice I couldn't afford.
Anyway, I'm just ranting over this past couple mini paragraphs, but what's your take on what I've said. You think I did the right thing or should I have let everything stay on a friends shoulders and let them defend themselves? You decide, make your choice.
