Tell the other person what I think, since I tend to be very honest and frank, and it might help the personcorrect his own behavior, even if it means the end of the relationship.B. Decide whether to tell or not depending on what the person has done, how I think the person will react, howvaluable continuing the relationship is to me, and other factors.

Give what I can to help, but work out an agreement that the person will pay me back, or advise the person onways he can help himself, because I want to be practical and encourage personal responsibility.17.
