One time my friend charles came over to my house. And we live right next door to the junkyard and he said that he was going to throw rocks at the junk cars and bust the windows out of them. And I told him not to do it instead of listening to me he said he was going to go home and I did't know that he done and my parents told me to tell him to never to come back over to my house.

A few years ago I had to stop being friends with someone (not giving names)because they smoked pot and did other things that I do not agree with.
I don't think it took that much courage.If you just get it over with than it is alot easier.

I didn't like the way she acted and I tried to talk to her and it didn't work. In what way did that take courage? I just told her what I thought about it and how she was doing the wrong thing.


In what ways have you demonstrated courage in your life? I usually tell people what I think and I don't care what they say.

When I was in the sixth grade I had to give up one my friends because she smoked. She was starting be a bad influence on me because she kept on tell nothing was wrong with smoking but,I knew it was. It took courage because it is hard to tell someone you can't be their friend. So I had build up some courage, and tell her that I didn't want to hang around her anymore. I've showed courage in my life by standing up for what I believe in, walking away from someone who tried to start a fight with me, and saying no to things I know are wrong.

I had a friend who kept pushing me, so I had to stand up and say no to whatever it was they were trying to get me to do. This friend hurt my walk with God and other friends. I had to remove myself from the friendship because it was hurting me many ways.

I have to stand for my Christian values everyday. I do this with the help of people in my youth group and other christian friends. I think it takes courage to stand up for this during high school when so many other things are going on.

Write about a time when you had to give up friends because they became a negative force in your life? Me and this girl have been friends ever since 3rd grade we have been by each other side by side through everything. Well everything was great until we hit high school. 9th grade her whole attitude changed. She was always putting me down, trying to prove me wrong about anything, and just overall she acted like she was better then me in every way. And also she started getting really friendly with other people and she just got so fed up with her new life she forgot all about me. So I stood up to her and told her how I felt and she said she would try and change but she never did, so me and her arn't that close anymore I'll say hey to her in the hallways but that's about it.

In what way did that take courage? It took a lot of courage to say something to her about her new attitude because I would scared of what the outcome would be.

In what ways have you demonstrated courage in your life? To show the image of having no fear in my life and to live life like there's no tomorrow.

I have quit being friends with people because they became a neggative influence. They was smoking and I said i am not going to ruin my life over one cigarette. It took courage because it they were my best friends and I thought they were smart enough not to do something so stupid.

One time one of my friends wanted to take spray paint and go paint the signs on the road. He got mad and said I ruined his fun but I knew It was right what I did. I knew that we could have got caught by the police and have gone to jail. After he thought about it he realized it was wrong and thank me for talking him out of it.

She was telling me how to live my life. She was acting like she was my mother, one to tell me what to do. She wanted me to break up with a guy if she didn't "approve" of him. I let her go, I have my mom for that.

Standing up for myself and my friends; doing things like riding really daring rides; jumping off of really high stuff. You know... the normal stupid stuff teenagers do.

I dont judge them but I listen to what they have to say and I can really tell how the person is in life. If my first impression is not a very good one, I just stay away from that person.

One time my exfriend Nicole came over to my house and she was going to spend the night with me.Well there was a cake in the fridge and it had like whipped cream stuff on it and I asked her if she wanted any and she said no..Well I asked my mom if we could go riding on the 4-wheeler and so we were gone for about 15 minutes,maybe, when we got home and walked inside my mom was complaining about something I walked over to her and she was saying something about the cake and then she started yelling at me and Nicole wanting to know who did it and I told her it wasn't me and Nicole said it wasn't her but deep down I had a feeling it was her...We never found out who it was but my mom told me never to invite her back over and I couldn't go to her house. I just stopped talking to her and now we barely notice each other when we see each other.

One time one of my former friends tried to convince me to smoke. He's my former friend for a reason. It didn't take courage because I knew that it was dumb and he was dumb for doing it.

Two years ago on the Band Trip, we went to Univeral Studios. I had never ridden roller coasters before that, and I wasn't going to, until my friends convinced me to go on "The Hulk". I was shocked, it was some of the most fun I'd ever had.

I had to tell my friend that he could not use my binder anymore. He was taking advantage of me. If he was truley my friend, he would not take advantage of me. My mother told me I could not let him see my binder, or I would get in trouble. It was very hard for me to tell him to stop seeing my binder. It worked out for the best because he is now nicer to me and does not take advantage of me.

I try to display courage to my little sister so she will be braver than me. When we have to get shots, I go first so she will see that it is not that bad. On the inside, I want to whin and cry. I sometimes you have to have courage for the ones you love to have courage.

Write about a time when you had to give up friends because they became a negative force in your life? i used to have a friend named. i didnt see anything wrong with him. we did everything together. his sister started getting into durgs and so did his mom. and i was still his friend. but we were growing apart. and it ended up that i didnt realy loose a friend, i just had to lower him on my list of priorities.

I haven't ever, as far as I can recall, lost a friend because they were a negative influence. Many of my old friends that I have lost were people that I just grew away from. none that i can remember have been on a negative foot.

I didnt demonstrate courage in this situation becouse it didnt call for any.

The only ever time that happened to me was this past summer where one of my friends were taking drugs and I told them to stop or else I'm done hanging out with them. It took courage because I could have just brushed of as if it were nothing.


In what ways have you demonstrated courage in your life? I guess I have demonstrated courage by just being myself and not being who other people want me to be.

I have never had to give up friends in this kind of situation. I always stand by what I say whether they can accept that or not. If you truely know who your friends are, and if they are REAL friends, they will respect you for your stand. Eventually, they will see that you are not afraid to express how you feel about certain situations, and those who understand will always be there. IF you can't respect a friend,do you deserve their respect?

There was one time that i can think of that a situation was similar to that. My friend and I were playing football i think in my backyard. We were having a blast until we got into an arguement. The arguement just got worse and worse. The next thing you know, my mom and his brother were picking us off from one another. We had to tell him not to come back to our house for awhile. It didn't take that much courage to tell him that because we were mad at each other anyways.

And they chased after us and i ran into a thorn bush and i cut my leg really bad. It woudent stop bleeding. It was AWFUL! We were going to keep it from our parents and everything. But i dont see how i could have kept my leg from bleeding from my parents and act like nothing was wrong. So i wen tot her mom and i told her the truth! And we got in really bad trouble but i could not see her for a really long time after that! It was really bad. And i thought my leg was going to be scared from it, but it turned out that i was very lucky. It did not Scare.

I used to have this friend. He had a very negative impact on my life. My mom told me that it wasnt so good that i hung out with him. I stopped hanging out with him. I really glad I did because he has gotten into some really bad things lately. I had to stand up for myself and listen to my parents.
