Physically and emotionally.
Jordan, student: I would say that, but some people have fights and scuffles and then itâs still OK. For it to end the friendship theyâd have to say something really personal.What about if they turned out to be massively homophobic?
Jordan: I donât think I have anyâŠ
Rebecca: Yeah, I wouldnât be friends with them in the first place if they were homophobic.What if one of your current friends just unleashed a barrage of homophobia out of nowhere?
Rebecca: Well, I guess thatâs their opinion and you canât change it. But I definitely wouldnât want to hear about it.
Jordan: Yeah, theyâd have to keep it to themselves.So quiet homophobia is OK.

Well, everything did start going a bit BNP after the Woolwich murder. Suddenly everyone was saying, âStop all these foreigners!â I was a bit surprised that everyone was suddenly a racist.Yeah, a lot of them started crawling out of the woodwork.
Yeah, there were a lot of really dodgy statuses. I deleted a few people. They had to go.

Unfortunately it has happened, yeah. And now Iâm not friends with them any more. But I think racism and sexism would also be good reasons not to be friends with someone. Although Iâd be very surprised if one of my friends turned out to be racist. I might just look at it as a challenge â to change them.Thatâs probably more sensible than cutting them loose and letting them be racist all over the place.
Exactly â seeing how racist they can be on their own.

Ollie, Alex's brother: When you first meet someone new it can be very exciting, and then you realise theyâre not really the person you thought they were.So being two faced, then?
Alex: Thereâs one guy in my group of friends who we realised has been playing everyone against each other, so I canât really be bothered with him any more.What if it was someone you didn't know already?
If they killed my cat I probably wouldnât be very happy.That would be a bit of a weird thing to do unprovoked.
I donât know what Iâd have to do to make them do that. I donât even have a cat.

Iâd stop being friends with them.Sounds about right.

It depends on what animal it was. I wouldnât really mind if it was a domestic animal.A wild animal. What if someone released a cheetah in your house?
I think it would be pretty cool, but realistically that would make me pretty angry.So, in general, having a cheetah would be fun, but logistically it would be a nightmare to have around?
A chimpanzee would also be bad.Surely it could help you out with stuff?
Yeah, but I think when they get older theyâre quite dangerous. Theyâre cute for a bit, then once they get to about seven theyâll rip your face off.Previously - Do You Agree with the Greenpeace Activists Climbing the Shard?
