text: Finally, multiple views on a matter can keep someone safe. If the person is trying to decide whether or not to do something stupid that could get them in trouble and they ask for an opinion, then you can keep them safe. Telling them to not do the stupid thing, might just save their life if they could've been hurt. Keeping someone out of trouble is also great. Whatever they were going to do could have got on their permanent record and hurt their chances of getting into the college or job that they want.
