You friend is asking you to play games with you all night but when you stay up late, you’re always tired the next day. He says if you don't stay up and play with him, he won't be your friend anymore. What do you tell him?
You should tell them this:
"It's not fair for you to tell me that I have to play video games to be your friend. A true friend wouldn't say that. I can play video games with you tomorrow. If you can't wait for me to play with you tomorrow, then I don't want to be friends anymore either."
A true friend doesn't tell you what to do all the time and isn't mean when you have to choose sleep or family time over games.

Hot water, because cold water doesn't get rid of germs. Hot water does.
