Blog #4: Moral Muteness
In about 10th grade came my largest moral indecision. My close friend was thinking about buying and testing out an illegal substance, in school. I knew that this was going to happen, but I didn't hold him back and made no effort to tell any superiors to stop this 'deal'. Of course, they did get caught, and my friend got suspended from school for two weeks. Although he would have been mad at me at the time, there is no doubt in my mind that by telling someone what was happening it would've kept his record clean. I regret it ever since because it was a major stumbling block for him when he was applying to colleges. I've even talked to him about this since and even he has admitted that it would've been far better to be in trouble with his parents than the law.

This would be a very tough situation to be in, honestly I would've done the same thing if I was in that spot. Sometimes it's just better to be mute and let people make their own decisions, especially if he had his mind made up already.
ReplyDeleteI have been in this situation before and thankfully my friend didnt get caught but i seriously considered telling him not to do it. I think its hard sometimes to get a close friend to not do something wrong like this cause you dont want it to tear your relationship apart.
