Answer 8

That doesn't answer the question though. it seems to ask if you will be honest and possibly create negative consequences for your friend, or lie (or avoid them) to save them from the negative consequences.

Answer 9

Well It can be negative when you feel pressured by your friends to do something if they would give you negative consequences

Answer 10

No one is giving anyone negative consequences.

Answer 11

And no one is pressuring anyone to do anything

Answer 12

It is simple: will you be truthful to your friend or not

Answer 13

But to avoid such any kind of consequence, you would be truthful and tell them the right things also lead them to a path that would lead your friend out of trouble and be a true friend to your friends

Answer 14

You are right in that the correct thing to do would to be truthful, but it would not "avoid" the "negative consequences" discussed in the question.
