Friend type #1: A friend who is a lot of fun to hang out with, but gets you into trouble
Example- A friend you love to hang out with but gets you to do drugs
or
Friend type #2: A friend that is less fun to hang out with, can be kind of uptight sometimes- but will always watch out for you and make sure you are okay/ will keep you from making bad decisions like a parent would
Example- A friend who you love but can be uptight sometimes, but keeps you from doing drugs/ screwing up.
I am like Friend type #2 and I was wondering if me stopping my friends from making bad decisions is a good thing or not, sometimes I feel like I spoil their fun by doing this... am I wrong?
Sorry if this is the wrong section but I wanted to get your opinions! =)

I've had both types of friends and at the end of the day, I'll stick with Friend #2. Even if you're confident enough not to let Friend #1 get you to do something that's not such a great idea, you still end up getting swept up in all the drama and headache that surrounds people who aren't that responsible.
I have a tendency to be more like Friend #2 and honestly, there's an art to expressing your opinion or standing up for what you believe in w/out being conceived as a stick in the mud or bossy.
If you ask my opinion, I'll let your know how I feel or if you're doing something dangerous, I'll let your know that I think it's dangerous and if necessary, I'll go somewhere else until you're done doing whatever. I'm not going to nag you or force you to behave a certain way, but I'm not going to act like nothing's wrong if it is. I'll suggest other things to do, but I'm not going to forcibly stop you if that's what you want to do. I don't lecture because it doesn't work.

I'll take friend number 2 over freind number 1 any day as friend number 1 would wind up getting me into trouble and in jail and either end up in jail with me or if not then bail out on me while friend number 2 would do their best to try to keep me out of trouble and if at worst bail me out of jail if worse came to worse. And yes you are being a good friend if they can't see that or appreciate you then you shouldn't bother with them anymore.

You seem like a smart lady, I think you know the best answer. Always remember, A friend will help you hide, a good friend will help you hide the body! : ) just kidding of course. It's 2 all the way as long as you don't get too preachy. Nobody likes their momma following them around. peace

I'd rather have a friend who's lots of fun to hang out with but keeps me out of trouble. i'm yet to find one though. i think the best time i had last year was with one who was "bad" but she didn't get me to do drugs. did them herself, but not there.
