Whether to talk to mother or to friend

This week we talked about whether one should talk to a mother or to the best friend in case there are relationship problems with boyfriend. Mostly agreed answer was to talk to the best friend. There are three main reasons why one should talk to the best friend. First, both would be nearly in same ages. So she/he may understand what one means exactly. Second, friend has a big possibility to have experienced the same situation. In fact, usually a friend is one who may be inspired by. Therefore, friend's word may work out more effectively. Third, she won't get angry even if you have done something wrong, which is main reason for one not talking to a mother. In conclusion, I prefer talking to a stranger rather than talking to a mother and to the best friend.
