thrs a new guy who came to my high school (jr.) about two months ago, and in that time we've come generally close. we relate to each other perfectly. (the following might seem random but it is relevant)- me and him are in the same health class, and we've received a project that we have to do on a health issue. (okay, shifting again) recently he's told me about an old friend he had that was bulimic, and he told me about how rough it was trying to help her and all that.back to the health project- abscent mindedly i chose bulimia as my subject. now heres my issue: me and him are close and all,but in realtiy its only been two months,and i dont want to do anything to drive him away, im afraid that if i do bulimia as my topic after all that he told me,he might be angry with me cuz im about to present on a very personal topic of his, publicly,especially when i KNOW how much it effected and hurt him. i just dont want to hurt him.i can alwaysdo another topic.wat do i do? am i overreacting? help

its just that it wasnt really my buisness to begin with, it was because he TRUSTED ME that he told me all of this. and i dont want to then as a thank you for trusting me turn around and dig deeper into a topic that hurts him so much.

If you're that worried, switch your topic. It's probably not a big deal though. I mean you could be potentially helping someone else with an eating disorder, and he'd likely respect that.
It's not as though you're going to discuss his friend though, just the disease in general. There's no betrayal in that.

Ask him if the topic offends him.
