MORAL DILEMMA QUESTION

OVER THE SUMMER, YOU BECAME FRIENDS WITH A PERSON WHO MOVED TO YOUR TOWN. YOU SEE THIS PERSON AS TRUSTING AND EASY TO GET ALONG WITH. YOU HAVE THE SAME INTEREST, LIKE THE SAME MUSIC AND MOVIES, AND HAVE HAD A LOT OF FUN TOGETHER.

HOWEVER, YOUR NEW FRIEND IS NOT ATTRACTIVE AND TALKS VERY LOUD. WHEN SCHOOL STARTS, YOU GET EMBARRASSED BY THE WAY YOUR FRIEND ACTS. YOUR FRIENDS AT SCHOOL ARE STARTING TO TALK ABOUT YOU AND YOUR NEW FRIEND. DO YOU REMAIN FRIENDS OR DROP THE RELATIONSHIP?

If this person is someone who is a toxic person, then yes drop them. But if they aren't and they are genuine good friend, then you should stay with them. If they get too loud (because I suppose that can be bothersome), just ask them to lower their voice and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But otherwise, they are a good friend and don't get peer pressured to losing this good friend.

At least, that's what I think.

Friendship is the relationship between two people who have similar views, goals and do their best to make each other better.

Therefore, with this scenario, there are some things that you would talk to the person about:

Let the person know that you find the way he talks uncomfortable
If he says that he talks like that and cannot change, then you ask yourself some hard questions such as:

Am i just noticing that my friend is ugly and talks loudly?
Will I change because of what people think??
Am i a people pleaser?

3. if you have asked yourself all these and find out that you did not have a problem before school resumed, then you would make a better decision.
