What are some situations where friction is good and some some where friction is bad?
In situations where you want to create heat or dissipate kinetic energy, friction is usually a good thing. Friction when rubbing your hands together creates heat, which you appreciate, and friction between your brake pad and brake disc slows down your car, which is also a good thing.
In situations where you want to maintain kinetic energy or minimize heat, friction is usually bad. Air friction slows down a glider, limiting its range, and mechanical friction in a car rolling on a flat surface causes it to stop without the brakes being applied.

Why is it that some people who are good at math have bad writing skills?
Given these two characteristics, there are four possibilities: Some people are good at math and have bad writing skills. Some people are good at math and have good writing skills. Some people are bad at math and have good writing skills. Some people are bad at math and have bad writing skills. Leaving aside what it means to be "good" or "bad" at these disciplines, it is likely that these groups of people have varying amounts of genetic predisposition for success at these aptitudes and their environments provided varying amounts of support or resistance to help them fulfill their levels of achievement. If you're suggesting a causal relationship, that to be "good" at one necessarily implies being "bad" at another, I don't think such generalizations are useful.
