Well, there is a saying that true friendship means having the courage to tell the truth always, even when it's difficult to say. I really remember I told my friend about his behavior toward his mother. His name is Yasin, and I have known him since my childhood. A few months ago, I visited his home, and we were talking about his plans when his mother came to us. My friend was arguing with his mother and disrespecting her. I was very disappointed and shocked because I have been taught to respect my parents no matter what. So, I decided to address that matter with him. When we met again, I tried to make him understand. At first, he was defensive, but later he realized his mistake. I told him that he should meet his mother and apologize to her. He went back to his mother and apologized. His mother’s eyes were full of tears, but she forgave him. I felt very happy because I did something for my friend, even though it was tough to tell him about his behavior. He thanked me for being honest with him, and I felt relieved because his relationship with his mother improved after that. See ya.
