A few days ago I was thinking and remembered a friend's password to a forum. I logged onto his account and browsed through his work and I had an impulse to delete a work of about thirty pages. I have felt terrible since but have not told anyone the truth about it, but in hopes of trying to fix things.

He had about half of the work saved, but I don't really know why I did it. I just got an impulse to delete it and I just clicked the buttons on it.

Whoa. Not only did you break your friend's trust by breaking into his account with the password he entrusted to you, but you actually deleted something that could have been very, very important to him.
Why?! I really doubt it was just impulse.
But, whatever the case, no, you are not a bad person...but you're really on the road to being one if you keep this quiet and just try to forget about it.
Do the right thing. Yes, as you're reading this, squirming guiltily and having the impulse to rate this answer badly, think a moment.
It would be so hard, but so good of you to confront your friend, tell him what you did and apologize. It may ruin your friendship, but #1, you'll be getting it off your chest, #2, you'll be explaining what happened since he probably wondered when he logged on what happened to his stuff and #3 you'll be apologizing for a wrong.
It's what's right...do it.
Good luck!

You are NOT a bad person. You had a momentary lapse in judgment and did a bad thing. I think admitting your mistake here is enough. Personally, I wouldn't tell the truth to anyone else except your friend, and then, only if it will help him. Invest some time being kind to others to make up for this mistake.

Personally, I have no idea why you would do such a thing to your friend. It was low and pathetic. I, for one, would never do that to a friend because I know how much it would hurt them and I would be ashamed of myself.
I know you posted this question because you want to convince yourself that what you did was ok, and that you aren't a terrible friend. The truth is, you are.
I wouldn't want to be friends with a person like you. If someone deleted my novel work, I would be furious. I would never want to talk to them again.
You better tell him what you did and hope that he is a forgiving person.

You shouldn't have done that. But, it's good that you realize your wrongs.
I understand that you have impulses like that, because I do too.If you ever have an impulse to do that, close the window and don't go back online until your impulses clear.

I have no idea what kind of person you are but the act you describe is simple horrible. I do not believe for a second you do not know why you did it. Impulse, my eye, how dare you refer to them as friend you have no idea what a friend is.

I think it is more than stuff like that, as one person put it. For some reason, you feel that you can invade someone else's privacy and then destroy something that does not belong to you. This behavior is seriously wrong, almost criminal if not criminal, and you should correct the action as soon as possible, tell, your friend so that he or she learns to be more secure, and seek counseling.

i would not say that you are a bad person. i would say you were a very naughty person. have you asked him how you could make it up? and see whether he has a recycle bin...it may be there still if he does. you need to think about your actions before you pull through with them because this is what happens. and it is full of bad results. good luck trying to recover his work.

well, I suspect that what you want to do, is darn near impossible, and hopefully you'll learn something , and if you real lucky, maybe your friendship won't be deleted, or your eyes dotted,
