My friend came to me and asked me to type and print her out a price list for a new business she's making. When I got all excited and asked her what kind of business it is, she said "my personal services". Me, being my confused self didn't understand and she finally said she was becoming a prostitute and needed a price list and business cards. She didn't want to hear a lecture, but I really don't want to see my friend go down like that. Should I stand back and let her make her own decisions, or what?

For the idiot who asked how would I know the prices, if you would READ correctly, I said she only wanted me to TYPE and PRINT them out for her. SHE made the prices, not ME.

I like how you worked, "but I really don't want to see my friend go down like that." into a question about your friend becomming a prostitute.
Anyway....I'd dissassociate myself with her. People will assume that because she does it, and that you hang around her that you either do the same thing or would be inclined to. Guilty by association in other words. Is it right? No, but that doesn't prevent it from happening.

Honestly, you shouldn't help her out with the price list. You should help her out of her new business. If she won't listen to you and you know she is actually doing it then I think it would be time to tell an adult. It doesn't have to be your parents or hers. It can be someone that you or her can trust. Maybe this person can help her into something else before having to go to your parents about it as it will get pass on to her parents. If you went to parents first then she would just hate you for it. Parents are usually the last one to really know about these things but really they should be told right away when being young. If she is over the age 18 or so then maybe you should tell her parents about it but be easy on them.
Good Luck!

Seriously, if she really wants to make money you should try to come to a common ground and have her be a stripper. Or work at Hooters. OR be a bartender. Get MASS tips. Now I figure that doesn't make her AS much money, BUT she'll be making good money AND she won't have to keep worrying about what she could be catching. I dunno, just a thought. Tell her you can't support her in this. I wouldn't say drop her completely, because there is obviously something going on, but don't be right there either. Just let her know if she wants to talk things through, seriously, with reasons and everything, letting you put your two cents in, then you will be there.

first of all how would you know prices? either you help her or stop talking to her. If you help her at least you'' be inform of any other bad decision he make and maybe you could help her with then. If you stop talking to her who know who she will hang around and there is no way you could advice her on other thing that could be worse. And there are worse thing that prostitution.

Try once again, talk to her and try to reason out with her that resorting to prostitution is not the way to go. Perhaps she is going through a financial difficulity at this point in time, see if u can talk to her about it.

stand back and let her fall on her face. you don't want to go down with her. you can go to jail and you don't want any part of that. if she don't want to lesson to you the back off. don't make her business card either, nor price list. let her do it her self.

I think that if you've done your est and tried to talk her out of it, all you can do is let her make her own mistakes and be there for her when she's fallen.

It depends on if your friend wants to be helped; i mean;
if she has her mind set on it dont stop it but, also; be close to her, and comfort her whenever she needs help because its hard out there

No! You should help your friend or at least be a friend to her and tell her how you feel about what she is wanting to do.
