It is an insufficient answer, and sometimes it's the only one available.

Sometimes we struggle between doing the popular thing and doing the right thing. And if we end up making the wrong choice, things could get really screwed up. Well, I pray that you will choose to do the latter. Do not worry about the things or people you will lose as a result of doing the right thing. Popularity is temporary while Righteousness prevails.

P.S: I got inspired to write this post after I received a call from a troubled friend who was in such a dilemma. In the end, she did the right thing and I am so proud of her.
