To what extent should one help a friend?
To the extent where YOU as a FRIEND, DO NOT, cross the line. While doing that, telling your friend to not to cross the line as well! Do not let your friend keep on borrowing money again and again and never paying up for it..yes, give him or her far amount of time but after that stop helping him or her. Tell your friend not to do drugs, as much as a friend should tell and intervene. If the friend replies, its his/her, money, then don't intervene again because its falling in deaf ears as his or her ears are full of other "good" friends voices and ideals. If your friend says he or she wants to jump or kill herself, be there for her or him and try not to leave his or her side, when things get to either life or death, do not ever leave your friends side, come what may. Help your friends with class notes or study materials for exams or getting in sync with the class, even if the friend doesnt help you when the time comes but you be a friend to him or her but if you see he or she thinks it's your duty as a friend, to help him or her out of sticky situations in life, forget them, leave them, these kind of friends can never learn a lesson from life through help, do not bring yourself down along with that friend. If that friend thinks he or she knows it all and has a ego the size of a football field, then leave that friend because it doesnt really matter to him or her if you stay or go, he or she is too full of it to notice. If your friend is going through a breakup or personal anguish, be there for him or her. But dont over do it by breathing down their neck and holding them accountable for everything after that particular problem occurs, everyone has a different way of seeing life, and dealing with certain situations, its not necessary it has to be your way, give them some space to figure themselves out, you don't need to figure it out for them, you have a life of your own, live it and solve your own issues.There are many other instances of extending your friendship and these are but few. Hope it helps!Best of luck!

What can I do to help a friend with an abusive parent?
Know that parents do the best they know how. It sucks that parenting classes aren't a priority in modern society but we have what we have. Many are the children who have suffered abuse at the hands of ignorant parents. If you are not going to bring it to the attention of the proper authorities then know that "this too shall pass". I ran away at sixteen to free myself from my abuse and never looked back. Once you have your freedom you may live your life however you choose.Until then know that you are not your parents, you are not responsible for their behavior and you do not have to be like them. Do not allow this to harden your heart. My oldest brother, who suffered even greater abuse than I has chosen to carry his pain throughout his life and is very bitter. Leave this pain behind you. We have come to this life for whatever reason and only we can decide who we will choose to be regardless of what circumstances we find ourselves in. I like to say when asked how I am doing "Awesome, no matter how fucked up it is." I am sorry for your pain but you are more than your misery.One thing I used to do when being abused was say "call the ambulance when you are done." Hope this helps.

Can my friend treat me like a dog?
NO way. friendship is about trust, repect and loyalty. everyone is treated as equals. you havnt explained what this friend does tyo you, but judging you referrred to it as 'treated like a dog' then it doesnt sound good. its not ok, and if this friend continues to treat you badly, tell them you dont like it and your looking for people who respecty you, not people who use u. dont let people drive all over you. everyone deserves to be treated great and if you do the same for others, they will do it back. hope i helped! =)
