Do your friends back you up?

We all have friends, and we all need friends, but no friend is made just for you, so there might be misunderstandings when you get along. Let's see what would your friends do If you were in one of theses situations, and find out how good a friend you have.
人人都有朋友，我们也离不开朋友。不过没有朋友是天造地设的一对，相处中的一些问题与误解在所难免。在下面的场景里，你的朋友们都会有什么样的反应呢？

你完成了老师给你和朋友布置的小组作业，不过老师好像觉得你没出多少力。你的朋友们会主动帮你澄清么？

A. Nope, you are on your own. They're acting like you are not working together at all, even though you could get into serious trouble!
B. Only after you ask for a few times. You did a lot of the work and the least they can do is to stand up and prove it.

Answer Key
Mostly A's - you call that a frieeeeend??? HE HE DA! 选A最多：你那也叫朋友？呵呵哒！
Your friends have a lot to learn when it comes to loyalty! True friends support you in good times and bad and encourage you to be your best. Talk to them and give them a chance to change. And if they still continue to let you down, I really suggest you start looking for new friends who will love and appreciate the real you. Well I met friends like that once, and it turned out some people they just won't stand up for anyone, so the sooner you cut them loos, the better, no hard feelings and find new friends like SMEETH!
你朋友的忠诚度有待提高。真正的朋友会一直支持你的，帮助你变得更好。最好跟他们聊聊，把话聊开，也许他们会知道有些是他们做错了。如果他们还是我行我素的让你失望下去，我建议最好的方法就是交新的朋友，珍惜你的朋友。我以前也结识过这种烂朋友，后来发现有一种人就是从来不会主动为别人做任何事说任何话，所以早点跟他们划清界限，你早点能更快更安全的前行。（比如结交像Smeeth这样的朋友，那真是三生有幸哈哈！）

Mostly B's - Halfway there 选B最多：还算靠谱
Your friends mean well..but no one is perfect, and sometimes they fall short. Maybe they forget to consider your feelings, or maybe they are just not sure how to handle a difficult situation. Help them out by telling them when you need support or they're hurting your feelings. You should be able to count on them just as they can count on you!
你的朋友人不错，至少对你不错，但是人无完人嘛。有时候他们也是忘记考虑你的感受，或者是不会处理棘手的问题，这时候你千万别不说话生闷气（我听过很遍的这句：有些事还要说么？你当你朋友是你肚子里的蛔虫？你不说话别人还得读你的心？你不交流，就别怪别人不理解了，没人有义务去猜你在想什么。）,跟他们聊聊你期望他们如何处理一些事情，他们哪些事伤到了你。同时告诉他们有时你很依赖他们，他们有时也会依赖你。

Mostly C's - Oh my God what more do you expect? 选C最多：我去！人生何求？
Congratulations! Now you have one gift that many people don't- a real friendship. Your buddies love you for you! You know they'll always be by your side and have your back, even in the most stressful situations. Friends like this can be hard to find, so don't take them for granted. Be just as thoughtful and sensitive to them as they are to you. Friends like these are friends for life! One of us one of us!
恭喜您成为幸运听众，获得了大多数人没有的珍贵友谊！你的好朋友们是真的爱你哟！就算在困难危急时刻他们也会站在你这边支持你。千万别理所当然的觉得是应得的，记得感恩珍惜，因为这样的朋友是限量版的！这样的朋友是一生的朋友！（人生何求！祝你好运，让我去哭会。）
