How can you convince a friend to tell you something?

it depends on what it is you think needs to be told, and how good of a friend it is.  Some people don't like sharing all of the secrets, you have to respect that.  don't push too hard to get them to spill the beans because you'll just end up pushing your friend away.  if they want to tell you, they will.

If she has seen the evidence and still refuses to believe the facts, then there is nothing else you can do. If you keep pushing the subject she could get angry with you and you could lose a friend. And keep in mind that it IS possible you and other friends have misread his actions. But if in the end, she realizes what has happened, just be sure to comfort her and avoid telling her, "I told you so."

Assume it is true unless you have proof to the contrary. Your friend may need your support in the face of temptation or social pressure. I hope you get very tough with your friend if they even think of going near the stuff.

Have a mutual friend ask him about it without letting him know you were behind it. You don't want to scare him away if he's a good friend.

Play with his mind and tell him your friend has a picture of it on her phone and see what he says.

What is the purpose for telling the secret?  Most of mine are of stuff other people have asked me to take to the grave and barring further instructions I intend to do so.  I will not break my word to one friend for another, unless something really bad is going down.  If it is something that serves no purpose other than a desire of someone to "know" something, then I would obviously just say, "look, I'm sorry, there are things I JUST can't talk to you about."  But if it were the case of my friend going through some trying time and knowing that I went through something similar or just even something bad so that I could speak out of sympathy or just give them a frame of reference I would do so, even if it meant explaining what I mean by Barrymore-Arquette syndrome.

its a good idea  to let him know, but you need to do it your self, dont let your friends do it for you. he will appreciate it more if you tell him yourself.

When in doubt, PRACTICE!\n\nInstead of rushing in without a plan, write down the main points that you want to cover with your friend. Next, practice various approaches until one feels comfortable to you.\n\nYou should also consider your friend's possible responses and be prepared for how you will handle them. Because she is in denial, she may become angry at you. Have a plan for how you will deal with that and what the worst-case scenario might be. Could she possibly end your friendship over it? If so, you need to be prepared.\n\nIf she refuses to accept what you say, don't argue. Just let her know that it's your viewpoint and that you felt it was important to share it. Emphasize that if she ever needs someone to talk to, you will be there for her. Even though she may be in denial now, someday she may need you if she's forced by circumstances to face the truth.\n\nDr. Barb Nefer, http://www.bnlifeskills.com

To be open and give her your advise is better way.\nYou can make her understand that she made other people upset with her attitude this long. and what has she done can put her in trouble someday and maybe will make her friends stay back from her soon or latter.\nTry to open her mind about this, choose a sweet way and polite words to avoid irritating her. \n\nIf you do this way, means that you have change your friendship...to a better and quality one!!! coz this whats friends are for....\nGood Luck.

Ok. What about showing them different texts and asking if they think they are Fact or Opinion? You could use a newspaper editorial (opinion), a computer/car manual (fact) and a TV advert (always sure to raise a discussion that one - but best they realise it is opinion).\nAfter looking at these examples you could then get them to write a piece of Fact and Opinion based on these examples.

The best answer is to be there.  Let her know that you are interested, and that you are there for her as a friend at the very least.  You can't "make" anyone change their minds... but if you demonstrate your ability and sincerity, then they at least have the option.

HUH?  Tell you friends something you know they'll judge you for?? is that the question?\n\nIf they know you well enough, of course they'll already judge you... but its the honest answer they should be giving you.

Tell her the truth. Let her know that the other individual is your friend and that you don't want to talk negatively about anyone. If she can't respect that, she doesn't respect your friendship.
