Many people have friends. A friend is someone important in your life with whom you have an irrefutable relationship. He is the person who keeps you company. There could be a few bumps in a friendship at times, but friends usually forget about them and move on. One thing that could harm a friendship is when sometimes, one has to truthfully tell his friend something hurtful. Almost everyone has gotten into that situation before. While many argue against being honest to friends, because you might tell them something hurtful, I believe that one should always be honest to his friends. Sharing the truth helps strengthen the bond of friendship and benefits your friend.
First of all, being truthful to your friend allows you to become better friends. Though telling a friend the truth might be offensive to him, it ensures that you and your friend can become closer. Telling each other the truth builds up trust between you, and shows your friend that you could keep secrets that he tells you. It also lets you know to your friend that you care about him, and you want him to know something so he could help himself. If you have a friend who's fat, you could tell him that, not meaning to be malicious, in hopes of him trying to get skinnier, and many more. Confiding the truth to your friend could help you become much closer companions.
Secondly, when you tell the truth to your friend, you are just trying to help him. Everything that a friend says to you, offensive or not, is really meant to just help him. If you comment on something derogatory about your friend, he will most likely try to fix it and become a better person. A friend is a person who gives good advice. Being honest to a friend can allow him to recover from a bad trait or habit. Telling a friend he's aggressive is not meant to get him angry or insult him, but to try to get him to hold his temper more often. Telling the truth to your friend is meant to help him.
Sometimes, it's best to keep a secret "secret." However being honest with your friends is imperative. Being honest allows you to become closer friends, and can help your friend. Friends are your companions for a long time, so it's important that you help them and tell the truth. Don't be shy! Honesty is what keeps your friendship together.
