So, I would like to talk about a time when I told my friend an important truth. A few years ago, my close friend was making a wrong decision about her students. She wanted to stop studying because she left tried and unmotivated. At first I was afraid to tell her the truth because I don’t want to hurt her feelings. However, I knew that a real friend should be honest. I told her that she was talented and that leaving her studies should be a big mistake. I also told her that feeling is normal and that she should not give up so easily. My friend was upset at the beginning, but later she understood me. After some time, she decided to continue her studies and work harder. Now she is happy with her decision. This experience taught me that telling the truth is not always easy, But it is very important in friendship. Being honest can help our friend make better choice and grow in life.
