Would your friends stand up for you when you're in a fight?
 
Would they?
And I mean verbal & physical fights.

I know mine would, and they have in the past.
I'd also stand up for them if they had trouble with anyone.
I really can't stand it when someone who's supposed to be your friend just stands back and watch when someone's being an ass to you, unless they see you really don't need any help.

Would you stand up for your friends?
Have you stood up for them in the past?
What's the worst fight you've been in and has anyone helped you?

My friend would, but in all honesty I would prefer that they didn't. I don't like people getting involved in fights when they're not meant to.

...

I have no clue D: Most of my friends I've known les than a year. I know for a fact one of them would, she's so nice but also tough xD

to be honest, im not sure.. my friends care for me and they are good people, but depending on how bad the fight was.. ii think they would...... that or laugh...... i would def. be there for them... friends are my 2nd lfe, [hockey is my 1st =3]

Definitely. And I would try to stand up
for them too, but I'm against physical fighting.
[I wouldn't be able to do much damage anyway xD]

Miss Alaineus 10-13-2007 05:19 PM

Most of mine would!!
there's just one who keeps trying to plan world domination that I'm not quite sure about...
But the rest I know they'd help me fight.
And they know I'm always there to back them up no matter what.

I think it depends on the situation. There are times when the best person to come to your defense is yourself. Most of the time, if I have a conflict with people, I tend to handle it myself. But, there've been times when people said something about me with a friend present, and I know that they stood up for me.

Yreka 10-13-2007 05:22 PM

  • Kinda depends who and where. If the fight concerned acctually hurting somebody and one of my best friends was by, she'd definately interfere. Currently a blackbelt. The other friends of mine would acctually likely realize that it was safer if it was just me taking on the person/people. I'm relatively proficient in combat, mostly counters, and mostly with weapons, but I know quite a few tricks to stop someone from hurting me. Having another person in the area would just be another variable i'd have to look out for. I can't guarantee the safety of anyone who doesn't have finely tuned senses and knows how to either dodge or change the balance of a flying person. xD

    As for a speech argument, unless they have vital information, then they know to stay out also. Apparently, my mental reasoning proficiency is extremely high and I tend to just confuse those who get into arguments with me until they fall into a favorible loophole.

    Now that I think of it, my friends know to definately not interfere if I snap since then...who knows what could happen. Especially when you can scare people about three times your age with voice alone. xD

I try to stand up for everyone even if I'm not friends with someone. I don't usually like when people talk about someone behind their back either so I try to always tell them that they need to talk it out with the person they have a problem with.

I think most of my friends would stand up for me in a fight... but I don't expect them too. I just hope that if someone is saying negative things about me when I'm not around, they will stand up for me then.

Barisaxyphone 10-13-2007 05:25 PM

My friends have stood up for me in fights that I've that with people. They weren't fist fights. But you know what I mean. I'm normally the person that handles all the mental fights in my group, I do some of the physical fights but that depends who's there.

P l a s t i c D o l l y 10-13-2007 05:25 PM

They would <3


As I would for them :3

That's so sweeeeeeeeeeeet. C:

I wouldn't risk anything for a stranger but it depends though, if its just a little kid having an argument with some giant i'd definitely stand up for the little one.

[Dead.Angel] 10-13-2007 05:27 PM

Would you stand up for your friends?
Yes, I would stand up for my friends. I know that when it comes to my friends I would do almost anything for them.
Have you stood up for them in the past?
There hasn't really been much of a issue yet with my friends needing help =/ But I know I have gotten into a few minor verbal fights with people over my friends xD
What's the worst fight you've been in and has anyone helped you?
Can't really say I have ever had a 'worst' fight, Like I said I have been in a few verbal fights but thats it. xD I could careless if people talk crap about me probably why I haven't been in a bad fight X_O

Mine have. I remember when I got jumped during my freshman year by cousins of someone I took down just a few days earlier. After the dudes were finished kicking my ass, I had, I swear, about 20 people chase after them. The chase and fight went across the street, stopping traffic and everything. It was fun.

Eserel 10-13-2007 05:30 PM

Would you stand up for your friends?

I would definately stand up for my friends. I like to argue, so it would be a matter of habit.

Have you stood up for them in the past?

Yep. I stand up for practically anyone who shares my opinion or idea. Could be a hobo for all that matters.

What's the worst fight you've been in and has anyone helped you?

I haven't been in any fights. If yelling and arguing counts as a fight, then I have been in a ton of those. But ours don't get violent. A lot of people stop me from arguing, but most of my friends wouldn't back me up cause they are all wimps. XD

Guys kicked your ass? :C

I hate it when guys hit girls.
Mainly because they're a lot stronger so it's unfair

Bubblegum 10-13-2007 05:32 PM

I don't know about physical fights, but I think that my friends would hang back in a verbal fight.
I don't think that's their fault, really, though. I am very capable of holding my own in a verbal fight and almost don't let anyone get a word in edgewise.
But most of my friends don't have as much of an acid-tongue as I do, and I definitely help my friends out in a verbal fight. Or if anyone's talking about them behind their back. I hate it when people do that; it so juvenile and immature. D:<<

sugarkane 10-13-2007 05:34 PM

I hope so. My friend is a lot tougher than me and is good at standing up to people. She's a good friend to have because she would never just stand back and watch somebody hurt or even say nasty things to me. I don't know how to stand up to somebody in a fight or anything and I think she understands that. She's alot wiser on whole subjects of fights than me XP

Iv'e tried to stand up for my friend in a fight before. Well, tried. I attempted to pull the girl she was fighting off her and got scratched across face. It didn't really achieve alot. I've never really been in a physical fight but there's been plenty of times when people have been saying nasty things to me. My friend helps me out then.

Butterfly-Trance 10-13-2007 05:35 PM

My friends have been there for me when needed. I have been there for them too. I use to have a neighbor who was my friend, but that was an off and on friendship. He was my friend for awhile, but when one of his older friends who didn't like me he took their side and didn't like me either. He was still my friend behind that older friend's back though

That's so cute, srsly.

Deadly Mango Kitty 10-13-2007 05:44 PM

i'm sure they would, i've known them since 2 grade.

i know i'd stand up for them.

Komitadjie 10-13-2007 05:46 PM

My friends and I are all more or less quiet fellows, so we don't usually get in that kind of situation. Almost all of us have formal training in either some form or martial arts or armed combat, though, and in the extremely rare occasions that we have ended up in a physical altercation, we work together very well. The four of us are almost always together, and always stand together, so people tend to just not bother us.

Be glad.
It's different when you're with girls and all of you have a big mouth.

cloita 10-13-2007 05:54 PM

I'm not sure if my friends would. I think once one of them did, they comfoted me when I was crying about something someone had said because it rally got to me that day and I had been putting up with it for like a week or so, knowing that no one would even come near me because of it. I've never been in a proper fight with fists and that lot but if I ever did, I wouldn't want my friends to come into it unless the person I was fighting friends came into it. I found it unfair when a group gang up on one person, it just makes the group look pathetic in a way. I've tried standing up for my friends in the past but it's never worked because I'm weak so people would usually laugh at any combacks I make.

Queen Fool 10-13-2007 06:04 PM

It really depends. I know some of them walk away as soon as anyone starts to argue with anyone else, so they wouldn't be there to stand up for me. My one friend normally does (though the reason I get picked on is because I hang out with him...so he probably feels that he's obligated to stand up for me).

I know my friends are awesome when I get upset though. Like once, I was arguing with a friend at lunch, and she said something that made me feel really shitty (and I hadn't eaten all day, so I was cranky). I started crying and my entire table just walked up and hugged me...it was so nice.

My one friend (who I mentioned above), I've defended more times than I can count. People say stuff about him to me all the time and I like...freak out on them.
