I went to spend the night at my friends house one Friday night and I found beer cans under his bed. I asked him and he told me that he had started stealing beer from his dad. Then one night he was home alone and I went over there unannounced and found him broken down in thebathroom puking everywere he looked awful! This happend one more time after that, he made me promise to to tell ANYONE! He told me that he had stopped but the last time I was over there I found two cans hidded in the mini fridge in his room. I finally told his dad and showed him the cans. He got in so much trouble, he got kicked off the football team, he lost his allowence, he is pretty much stuck in his room with the door open. He told me he hated me right when I left. Am I a bad friend? All I did was what I had to, I couldn't stand to see him like that. Did I do the right thing?

It's better than him getting hurt, doing something stupid while drunk, or having someone find out and possibly putting his parents in trouble.
One day he will realise what a good friend you are.

Hie Josh. Well to me it is the right thing you went and did to the person because you are acctually trying to help him out, a true friend will always help the friend not just don't care about him, in my opinion acctually the first thing you should advice by rather of telling the dad, but if he stills doesn't listen to you, then i guess it is better for you to tell the dad of what he had did, but it is bad for you to tell your friends about it, and i guess it better for to talk back to his dad about this so that he can get back his allowence and also try to monitor him on what he is doing with his allwoence, try to ask the dad to give him another chance, well everybody has three chances in a family reliationship. Try this hope it might help you.........
ALL THE BEST........

Yes you arnt a bad friend. Okay, He could be getting drunk and the way you are putting it hes underage if im correct? Hes experimenting and who knows what elses hes experementing with. Now at least his dad will watch him more carefuly. You did the right thing. You even could of saved his life. So dont take it so hard on yourself.
He will learn in the future WHat really a good friend does okay? Alright Peace.

first of all this isn't something you would possibly want to be doing besides or perhaps as the police officials are called someone is going to communicate and evidently you had the knife you made the decision to tug out the knife you receives blame isn't your pal that were given you in difficulty is the knife, you should no longer carry a knife and under no circumstances pull out a knife on all people or you receives in difficulty, that is a serious be counted, no one is going to adhere out for you once you do something incorrect, they don't look to be your pal in the adventure that they stress you into eliminating the knife after which letting you're taking the blame, this basically means that what you probably did grow to be incorrect and regularly magnificent out with those type of pal will basically get you in difficulty, my perfect recommend is get more advantageous positive acquaintances, ones who would not stress you into doing something incorrect, even as someones make it easier to do something incorrect they don't look to be your pals. Be sensible opt for your pals properly.

Yes, you did the right thing. You were protecting your friend's health. Beer is not good for them and you stood up for what you thought was right. That is fine.
Don't worry about his reaction. He will come around in time.

No, you did the right thing. You feel bad now but think of it this way, how would you feel if something really bad happened to him as a result of his behaviors or because YOU DIDN'T say anything to anyone? In my opinion, I would rather lose a friend because he/she is mad at what I've done rather than because he/she is badly hurt or dead. Hope this helps!

You didn't do ANYTHING.
He is the one drinking under-age, and hiding the beer cans.
He is the one who got himself kicked off the team, and in trouble, etc.
His actions and his actions alone brought him to this point. He will suffer the consequences of drinking, and hopefully he will think twice about it the next time.
This is the point where your actions have to stop, and your worries have to stop, even if he's lost to you as a friend.
People that drink/drug CANNOT be controlled---they have to learn how to control themselves, or they never will.
This means that you CANNOT waste your time or emotions worrying about them, or trying to control them---it makes you as sick, or sicker, emotionally, than they are.
The best favor you can do for them is to take great care of yourself, and be a friend to them. But you must never "enable" them to get drunk or high, or to cover up for them being drunk or high.

You did the right thing, but you didn't do the friend thing. You arent' supposed to tell on your friends, and if you do you should make sure it doesn't look like you did. he will see that as a betrayal.
