So,I have 3 friends. We'll call them Peter, Rach and Nikki we are all in HS peter is an "adult" (18) if that makes a difference at all.

So here is the situation, Peter is in jail and is being charged with second degree assault. Rach who is the closest to peter and has been trying to get me and him together is telling me to cut him off completley point blank. No if ands or buts about it, she thinks I need to not even talk to him if and when he comes back to school even as a friend.

Nikki who doesn't even know peter knows the situation from me and she thinks that I should talk to him and be there for him because if and when he gets out he's going to need a friend. Her logic is that he didn't do anything to me and at the end of the day people mess up and people do deserve a second chance especially if so many people will be looking at him in a different way.


If you were in this situation whose advice would you follow, I'm still relatively young and naiive (If you haven't picked that up from my post) and I really have no clue what to do!

Well, young buddy, this may sound cold-hearted and I'm sure bleeding hearts will join this thread, but I see nothing but trouble in associating with jailbirds.

If I was you, I wouldn't date the guy. Definitely not someone convicted of assault.

I don't want to date him! Before this whole thing happened we were talking but after this whole thing that isn't an option. I mean more as a friend... like should I still be there as a friend

If you were talking about dating, being "friends" will not stay that way... Don't fool yourself!

It sounds like you are having doubts even about being this guy's friend. He must have done something to make you question the friendship.

Lol, no it was like ust flirting... we hadn't actually sat down and attempted to get together.

He didn't do anything to make me question the friendship. Im 100% sure I don't want a boyfriend out of him, and i was 100% sure I was going to be his friend after all of this until Rach started saying I should stop and cut him off... It kind of made me feel like maybe I was crazy for not minding being his friend anymore

I am curious too.

"Rach" may need to find new friends if she doesn't want him around.
