I'm not going to stick up for my unpopular friend
Why aren't you sticking up for them?
I feel like he does not deserve it
If he is your friend, you should stick up for him. It is the right thing to do and he will appreciate it.
I'm not going to say that he's a good person or that he deserves the respect. If he's hated so much, maybe I should be hating him too. Everyone else already does.
You should not treat your friends like that! If he really is your friend you should stick up for him and not let him get walked on.
