There might be
some people who might believe that it is better to let friends do their bad
behavior than correct it. However, I disagree with the above idea for two
following reasons. First, friends' advice is more helpful to people than
others'. Second, people can build more a close relationship by disclosing their
opinion.
To begin with, people tend to rely on friends
who present correct ways because it is more helpful. It is wrong to think that
giving advice to their friends is the only their teachers' or parents' roles.
Sometimes, the close friends' advice is more helpful because friends have a
similar age and share the same interests each other. For example, there is a
survey conducted by Gallup to understand the consensus view about friends'
honest advice. The majority of respondents had responded that there is higher
possibility that their friends' opinions are more helpful than their families'
or professor's. This is because most people feel more convenient when they hear
their mistakes from their friends. Also, they give more realistic ways to solve
problems due to the fact that they can understand each other sufficiently. This
proved that the friends' opinions can have a great impact on other friends very
positively.
On top of that, fixing other's wrong behavior
can help people build more strong bonds each other. providing a counterpart
with advice without any reluctance means that they are very close to. Also,
people tend to rely on the friends' opinions who always tell honestly because
it means that they never hide their feelings. Taking my personal experience as
an example. When I had a group project in my university, I am on the same team
with my best friend, Susan. She tended to act as children. Of courses, I liked
the aspect of her. However when we progressed the important project, her
personality made a lot of troubles, so I gave some advice to her about important
factors that she has to followed. When we had finished our project, after a
while, she told me that the advice had been very helpful in her role in the
project. She said that my advice had helped her to have a strong
responsibility, and she got to consider me as a more reliable friend. Until
now, we have shared a strong relationship.
In conclusion,
correcting friends' bad behavior is very meaningful to almost every person. and
it is absolutely not the action that ruins their relationship. In this regard,
I strongly believe that people have to always say friends' faults more
honestly.
