Hey guys,
For this secondary I am having a little problem. I can't figure out if this topic for my ethical/moral dilemna is appropriate. Sophmore year of highschool during a bomb threat, my friend skipped school by having another friend pick him up from where we were standing and drive away. My Mom worked at the school at the time and I went over to tell her what happened. My teacher overheard the conversation and asked what the name of the friend was. I told him his name was Brandon, but I didn't tell him his last name because I still wanted to be loyal to my friend and not get him in trouble. I guess the moral/ethical dilemna I had was to tell the truth and get him in trouble for skipping school during an emergency situation or to be loyal to him as a friend and protect him from getting into trouble. Obviously I kind of went in between and offered up enough information that the teacher could have figured out who it was if he tried, but not give in completely and tell his last name. I dunno if this situation will look bad or not. Any comments are highly appreciated.
