If a friend told you they were thinking of running away, what would you do? What advice would you give them? Would you tell their parents? Why or why not? RESPOND to the post and then REPLY to two of your classmates.Give thoughtful, careful answers.
First of all, I'm not running away with her. I'll know the reason of my friends want to run away, because if just unhappy or study, I'll help her to solve. If it is family reasons, I will inform her parents and let her parents to have a good communication with her. Although we are friends, I need to support her ideas, but on the run away, this will relate to security so I can't support her easily.
Your are good friend! I think runnnig away is not the best way to solve the problem, so you should communicate with his or her and discourage to do it.
You express an interesting point of view, however, I disagree in telling the person´s parents despite any reasons. Its important to take into account the issue before making such decisions.
First, I communicate with her and tell the reasons. When I tell the reasons, I should not deny a friend's opinion, just advise to my friend. And then I will look for the other way to solve the problem. I think I would not tell their poarents, but I suggest him or her to consult to their parents.
I agree, we should always find new or better solutions to the problem. Also, we have to respect our friends opinions and decisions and we should advise them for them to clear out and be wise.
You point out a fundamental aspect in this type of situation. Communication. This is the most important step to solve the issue, it should be done at first before taking any drastic actions.
I'll ask reasons and make him/her calm down by listening to his/her worries. I think I'll advice that you are working too hard and you should ease up on anything. And I'm not going to tell his/her parents because I think he/she should tell their parents by their own words if he/she don't change his/her mind after talking with me.
I agree with the fact that we should always listen and help calm down our friends. That way they can clear their mind and take better decision that could be life changing.
I would make sure she is sure of her decission and if she is doing it by heart. Of course, I would be supporting my friend if it is the right decision for my friend well-being. As and advice I would tell my friend to take their time and think very well his next steps also, that if it is the best thing to do for their personal well-being, they should do it but they should always find a way or better solutions without running away. I think I would tell the parents depending on the situation, if my friend is in danger I would but if he is responsible and sure of their decisions I would not because it isn't my life and I should not interfere in my friends’ decisions. I would. do the best that I can to give an advice and make sure my friend is safe.
I totally agree that showing support to your friend is one of the more important factors in these kind of situations because you want your friend to feel confident and save with you.
First of all, I will analyze the context of the situation. If the problem goes beyond any help and it can´t be solve solve in any way with the person not running away, I will completely support it . Now, if the person´s life is in danger or the attempt risks his integrity in any way, I would tell someone that might help him. I would talk to the person to analyze all the options and the reasons, I will completely tell his parents if the person is compromising his life or they are not part of the problem. Because if they are part of the problem then things would just be worst. On the other hand, a person runing away from home doesn´t necessarily mean is for bad. Sometimes the situation gets to the point in which running away seems the best option. In conclusion, examining to the deepest the issue and getting into action depending on it, its the best one can do.
I agree completely with you when you said that many times running away is the best solution, it just depends of the situation and the circumstances in which that person is.
Honestly, i would try to understand the reasons why she or he wants to leave their home. I would support and comfort them under any circumstance; however, my advice would be for them to really ponder their decision . I would not tell his or her parents because i am not in the position to do so. My friend is the one that has to take that step.
I understand your point of view; However, I can't agree with you when you say you wouldn't tell their parents because I believe that many times people need help and they are not brave enough to say it, so it is important for us to lend them a hand.
I agree with you, the communication must be the first step. Before taking any extreme measure, it is perfect to talk to the person who needs help and try as much to understand him and know what really happens.
First of all i will try to find out the main reasons why my friend is trying to run away. Once i get to know them i can help him find different solutions from the one he has chosen. I would try to make him understand how serious is the decision he is about to make and explain to him that all the choices he make come with different consequences. About his parents i would rather not have to tell them because i feel that the situation can get even worse. Still if i have already done everything in my hands to convince my friend and he still wants to put his life in danger then i will have to think twice whats better for him.
The first thing i would do, would be to ask that person how he/her was feeling so in that way i would verify if he/she was mentally and emotionally stable to make that decision. If after that i realize that that person does not have a good mental health, i would call their parents to tell them about the circumstances even if that would annoy my friend because i know that what i have done is for that person's good, and also i would be preventing a possible catastrophe.
You are absolutely right when you mention that you should tell your friend's parents. It may be difficult to tell them but if you really are friends, you would tell your friend's parents no matter what.
First I would ask him why he wants to leave, and depending on what he says, I would try to understand him and help him finding a solution. If the situation worsens, I would turn to his parents because maybe my friend might have more confidence talking with them than with me. (:

DeleteI definitely agree with you, give advice is the best decision. In the same way, to talk about feeling with their parents would help a lot
DeleteConsult to their parents is better than just tell to their parents! I agree with you!

ReplyDeleteTelling by themselves in their own words is most important thing and the easiest way to convey the mind!

ReplyDeletemy answer was very similar to yours! I agree with your opinion, specially about finding the reasons why
