tell the truth 2 a friend?

Question

i was on the basketball team and next year my friend want's to try out next year i do not think she will make it should i hurt her feelings and save her from embarassing herself or let her try out and be humiliated

Answer 1

I'd say let her try out. I'm not saying you should encourage her to embaress herself, but are you 100% positive that she won't make the team? Because if you're not then I'd say you have to let her take the chance. I know you don't want to see your friend embaressed, but if she's willing to take that chance then I recomend doing your best to support her in this endevour. Maybe help her practice some before tryouts. Anyway, just my opinion.

Answer 2

In my point of view if you really care about her and she wants to try out for the basketball team then you should try to help her so that she gets better at it. You said that you were in the basketball team so you must know how well you must be to get into it. Help her practice so that she does become better.

You might think that she is going to embarrass herself, but you never know what just might happen. Maybe she will not embarrass herself and do a good job.

It will be sad if she does not get accepted into the team, but let her know that just because she couldn't get into it that year......she can always try for the team the following year. Don't let hers and your hopes down.

And you instead of thinking she will not make it into the basketball team and will be humiliated if she tries.....think positively and make sure that whatever happens nothing will put your friend down. Well I hope that I helped in some way and I wish your friend good luck.

Answer 3

Support her! How brave of her to try out! What's the worst that can happen? Many people won't make the team - that's not humiliating. Life is full trials, and you'll never succeed if you don't try. And who knows - she may surprise you! Better yet, why don't you practice with her and teach her some moves during the coming year so she builds her skills and has a better chance of making the team?

Answer 4

Let her try out, but maybe help her over the summer so she won't humiliate herself. If this is something she really wants to do, then you just have to be supportive.

Answer 5

Let her try out. Maybe she'll improve by next year, and maybe she's really not bad. Do not tell her though. She will get mad at you and then you and her will get in a big fight. No one is going to make fun of her, unless they're morons, if someone can't play a sport.

Answer 6

Be supportive and help her get better. Let her know where she needs improvement if she wants to make it into the team. If she doesn't make it, there is always next year and she'll exactly what to focus on.

Answer 7

Yeah, help her get better at Basketball, but you should let her try out anyways, because in actuality, nothing is embarrassing. If you are a friend to her, you can help her in many ways.

Answer 8

Why don't you help her out over the summer. Give her some tips and practice together. By the time tryouts come around, she might not be the best but maybe then she will have a chance.

Answer 9

How do you know she won't make it. Why don't you try practicing with her and giving her some pointers and be supportive. If she makes it great if she does not be there for her don't assume she will be humiliated do something to help her

Answer 10

would you consider it as a humiliation if you did not make it. i would not. or are you afraid that they might choose her over you. or is it that this sport is the only thing your better than her at and you do want to see her humiliated. she's your friend support her give her some pointers. i mean if you really see her as a friend
