Your friend Noah told you something and made you swear not to tell: he's been skipping breakfast and lunch on purpose because he wants to lose weight, and he's been feeling dizzy at school. He made you promise. A real, hand-on-heart promise. Now you're worried. He nearly fell over in PE yesterday. Part of you thinks a promise is a promise — you keep your word, that's who you are. Another part of you thinks Noah might actually be in trouble. Telling a grown-up would break your promise. Not telling might leave your friend in a worse spot. Both feel like the wrong thing.
