It is sometimes said that borrowing money from a friend can harm or damage the friendship. Do you agree? Why or why not? Use specific reasons to explain your view.

Borrowing

money

is usually considered as an awkward situation. Some people even think that it might lead to the disruption of their beautiful relationships with their friends.

However

, I think

this

idea depends on how close the lender and the borrower are and the amount of

money

lent.

First

of all, whether borrowing

money

from

friend

cause harm to the relationship or not may depend on the level of companionship between them. If they are close friends,

then

they would always be willing to provide help to each other as long as it is within their abilities, including

money

.

This

seems to cause no harm to their beautiful friendship.

However

, if a person asks a casual

friend

, a classmate

for example

, for a loan, it may not be so easy. There might not be enough trust between them for borrowing

money

to the other. The

friend

may have a bad impression about the borrower.

Moreover

, the amount of

money

borrowed might

also

have an effect. In the case the loan is just a small one, say, the bill of a cup of coffee, it causes no damage to the relationship. In the other hand, if a

friend

borrow a person a big pile of cash, he or she is likely to have an unpleasant feeling.

Then

, their friendship may be put on the verge of ruin. Some others may argue that people should avoid borrowing their friends’

money

to prevent the destruction of their friendships.

However

, I think that

this

is not a good idea since everyone might get some financial troubles in their lifetime.

Then

, they can ask for help from friends to overcome their problems, and try to return it as soon as possible. In conclusion, I believe borrowing

money

seems to not destroy a friendship as long as the friends are close and the loan is not too big.

Moreover

, if the debt is repaid on time, the relationship will still be good.
