Yes I think people can change if they try and yes I would give them a chance to do just that :)

Depends on the situation and the history I have with that person, but yes, I would, as a rule, give them a chance to change. I also believe people can change for the better, if they want to.

Yes i think that people can change for the betta because iam living proof!!! But i must say that some people change not for the betta but for the worst!!! Everyone have control over there life and what the want in life!!! U can't expect someone to change over night yes it can take time for a person to change!!! So yes i would give that person a chance even if i knew that they was not going to!! Give everyone a chance to change because u would want them to give u a chance if it was u!

Absolutely. (Some things will not change. We don't even know what's broken. )
But, the "normal" everyday things can be changed, and the individual is the ONLY one who can change them.
Second chance....? THAT would depend on the damage done, AND what they say they'll change.
Wife-beaters, pedophiles, etc? NO! There has never been ONE recorded case of "change" there. If it happened once, it WILL happen again. It's a matter of time.
Everyday stuff... sure. My questions would be... How is it that this exists in you now? Why didn't you think it important to change before now?
If I've already been badly hurt, I can not imagine how important this person would have to be-to me- for me to wait around for it. }:>

First question= Yes we all can. The mind is powerful. What's even better is WILL. The will to change for the better.
Second question= I believe in second chances. I gave a person his second chance but he didn't change for the better. I was the one who changed in the process. And i changed for the better.

I think that the main reason people don't usually change is because they like themselves just the way they are. it's other people's opinion of them that causes the confusion. For example a guy/girl likes to go out and drink and yes maybe they drink to much. But that is what they like to do. Then along comes someone who feels that they can be better and shouldn' t go out drinking all of the time. So now this person is torn between doing what he/she likes to do and trying to change to please someone else. So, no they don't really change because deep down they don't want to.

i hope that people can change for the better. at one point, i thought i did. but, that fairy tale came crashing down. i believe there are some parts we cannot change despite all the desire. others parts just need some fine tuning. would i give a person another chance? well, actions speak louder than words. it would take awhile to earn my trust. i won't say that it's a lost cause. but, i don't want to be fooled again.

I suppose it is possible, but not probable in most cases.
I am not just being cynical. I once believed a guy who told me he had "learned his lesson" regarding his habitual gambling and I married him. He never DID quit! After 18 years of constant lies, fighting and arguing, and still constantly being broke even while I worked a GOOD job, I divorced him. Best thing I could have done. He refused to go get help and always told me I was the one with the problem! He had none! I am now VERY happily married to a man who treats me the way a man should treat someone he loves!

Change only takes place when the person wants to. Even then it will take some time for people to actually trust in you again.

If they really want to change, then yes. I'd only give one chance, never a second.
