Do you stand up for your friends?

Once I heard someone saying "A real friend is not the one trying to stop the fight but the one who punches harder" ~ LOL There are many ways to interpret this question, but when the situation escalate, what do you do?

[potatoiswhoiam]

Only when they're in the right. I don't support friends no matter what. I try to understand the situation first, because I wouldn't be a good friend if I encourage bad behavior, and I'm aware that friends are not always right

[Kaneki05]

100% glad someone else said this.

[esova]

Oh so we got some bandwagons here

[Medlife]

Oh yes i am very picky about people i keep company with so if i take my time and energy on someone they better be treated well.

Well if someone hurts verbally my friend and we're in a safe place (meaning there's no chance we could get into a punch fight), I'm gonna stand up and literally eat his face, you don't go around hurting my friends, you have to walk through hell before doing that.
If someone hurts my friend physically or verbally, meaning we're not in a safe place, I will stop the fight and take away my friend from there and let the police handle it. The more you get in into the fight, the more are the chances you can get in trouble with the law, so better be the other one than my friend.

If you are a real friend you never sit back and watch your friend get their ass whooped. if it is a fair one on one fight and your friend gets their ass whooped u just step in and break it up when it's clear they got beat. if your friend wins you step in before your friend goes to far and permanently hurts someone. but if ur friend is getting jumped and it doesn't matter if it is 10 on 1. if you're there it better be 10 on 2 or ur not a real friend and ur a punk if you just let ur friend get fukd up by themselves.

[Kaneki05]

If there in right, hella yes i would.
People who protect there friend when there in the wrong cause problems like for example a person who stands up for someone who has been there friend since childhood but now he raped a girl. If your still standing up for him just cause he is a friend then your just as evil as him.
Even standing up for smaller things were there in the wrong isn't good ethier.

One time some idiots on my friends street were throwing rocks at his house for no reason. He was getting mad went out by himself. Telling them to fuck off or he is calling the police.
One throw a stone at his face. Ya know what i did walked very slowley picked up this stone slab he had on his pathway which is lose to the others.

Walked over to the person who threw the rock who was probably thinking she's fine cause she is a girl and with her group of friends. Wacked her stright in the face with it.

Then said "i did this right in front of you now picture what i would do if i came after you at a time you wouldn't see me coming". I think what makes it more scary when i did this to them is my lack of anger in the words.

If things escalate i shut it down by hitting hard.

[scooogy]

Yes, but my way. My friend and I worked in the same project team at college, and the teacher said that someone of the higher semesters should supervise us, but we should also have one of us guide the group. The one we chose split the group in two and only gave tasks to the ones he liked, to which my friend and I didn't belong. Since we had to each have certain hours of work done in a week, once when she just joined a task which she wasn't supposed to help in, the supervisor didn't want to give her these hours and asked her if she really wanted to discuss that. She sensed that she might have been thrown out of the project if she even said a single word in that moment. You could feel the tension in the room, so I helped her by distracting the supervisor by a question about the project. That way my friend didn't have to fear any further conflicts.

If they're a really close friend, despite if they're in the wrong or right of a situation - I'm the loyal kind of type that would stand up for them. As long as it's not a situation that can put me in danger - but if it is, I'd try to descalate it regardless.

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

Yeah of course. I naturally defend the honor of good people and especially friends and family. I don’t believe in violence unless it’s absolutely necessary BUT, if my best friend gets into a fight, I’m probably going to just start fighting alongside him/ her.

[AmandaYVR]

Well I'm unlikely to get involved in a physical altercation, but I don't really know people like that, nor ever really have, so it's a bit moot.
Yes, I would and do stand up for friends. Especially when it comes to strategizing on the best means to get out of a problem or predicament. I won't stay silent if I feel someone is being wronged. But if they want to resolve things themselves, that's also no problem, go right ahead.

The moment you trust someone 100%, you already screwed yourself over. Don't depend on people saving you. People are only good when their life and interests are on the line.

Of course you can have reliable friends, but trust them to a certain degree. Always have a backup plan if shit gets fuck up. Never trust 100% only 97%. This is life unfortunately.

If its a fair fight no let them punch it out
If they started the fight and deserve a ass kicking i will make sure there not seriously hurt but let him take the ass kicking
In all other cases i will fight with them but most people dont start fights when im around

[LeoElias]

I might be a little bitch but I'd rather use words than violence. I have been in a lot of fights and got my ass kicked a lot. To avoid all that shit, I would rather talk it out. I would protect my friend if fists are thrown but if it is seems like only words will be exchanged I won't even attempt raising my fist. I think it's just good to be there and have your friends back no matter what instead of being a coward. Doesn't mean you have to resort to violence every time.

[RJJ33666]

Sometimes when my friends are in an argument, i would just sit somewhere because their arguments are so funny and if it becomes a fist fight i would still sit there to see him get beat up. But after a while i would intervene and stand up for him

[topur]

Sometimes it's not easy, but you must stand up for them so I do.
But if they do something wrong I am also the first to tell them so.
Being my friend doesn't mean I loose my ability to judge him for his actions

[esova]

So you ain’t about that ride or die lifestyle?

[topur]

If a friend is getting beat up, I'm steping in. If a friend is being used by his girlfriend , I'll tell her to get lost.
But if a friend is being an ass to his girlfriend , I am having a long talk with him and probably a good slap to the face as starts. You can bet on that.

It is ride or die, but I can't betray myself and my sense of justice. If a friend is acting wrong he doesn't need be to cover for him, he needs me to get him in the right path.
That's my opinion

[topur]

Male friend or female friend

[Jjpayne]

It depends on the moment. But I'm usually better at taming the aftermath

[jennifer_bloom]

I don't if it is a small situation like somebody badmouthing somebody who was kind to me but if somebody does something that is very very very bad - I will stand up for them.

[mcbme]

I've learned to control one thing and that is throwing punches. i might get loud and mumble a lot of words but try my hardest to stay out of a fight. Now stop a fight I'm good at that. seeing someone getting hurt and more than they deserve to start with I'll pull whoever off and set him to side I really don't care if I take a shot or two but I'll stop the fight.

[Tiffanyrosebarbie]

OMG I always say to them that I'll back them up etc but I can't fight so I always say nothing if they are fighting and I've been turned on by friends who I let get jumped.

[311WasAnInsideJam]

I've bitched out one of my friend's girlfriends before because he wouldn't. Aside from that, my friends seem pretty self-sufficient in the "stand up for yourself" department.

[Pappy1955]

I' have no friends at present I'm in a place where making friends isn't a good Idea they die ro quick. J'm a senserive person & don't handle a deathof a friend very well.

[wilfh1965]

Any man that stands by me in my time of troubles or darkness will never have to wonder where I am when he needs me I will either be beside them or in front leading the way

[DomPinder]

Yes I will back up and fight for anyone I care about no matter what. Even if they are wrong I will back them up and support them. Once it's over we gonna have a talk though.
