How do you stop your friends from doing crazy ideas?

What makes you think it's your duty to stop other people from doing stupid shit?

What makes you think you'll be successful at stopping a flawed personality from doing stupid shit?

Do you think maybe some people only learn from the consequences of doing stupid shit?

Personally I think protecting people from their own stupidity is a mistake. They will either learn or not. Choose your friends accordingly.

You don't, you encourage them and make memories and carry first Aid and add a paramedic to your friends group to make sure your friends don't die!

[PessicaJeter]

If I can't gently persuade them to, then I'll just let them do whatever it is they're trying to do. After that, whatever happens is what happens.

You don't, that's not your responsibility you have no control over anyone's actions.

I'd be the one carrying the bat singing "someone's gonna get it"

[AgentG111]

Why stop them? I doubt any great stories ever started with hey let's sit down enjoy a glass of water and a salad.

[David318578]

You dont, you join them and hope you survive to see the age of 25. At least thats what I did

[TallAnon]

Sometimes that's not your call to make.
You can give them your opinion and then it's their life to fuck up as they please

[msc545]

I don't. It is their problem and their business.

[ChicoFromThe305]

I don't know if you could
