Question

Sometimes, we may even want to do somethings only because our friends are doing them, even if we know it will get us into trouble or wrong. For example, Meena knows that Anu feels hurt when Ajay teases her. But she does not want to say anything because she is Ajay’s friend and does not want to upset him.

3. Why doesn’t Meena stop Ajay from teasing Anu?
