What Would You Do?

A good friend of yours has seemed troubled lately and has begun to keep more and more to himself. One day you go to see him, and he tells you he would like to talk to you about something, but you must promise to keep it a secret. He seems pretty serious, and you value your friendship with him, so you agree not to tell anyone what he has to say. He tells you that he and everyone else would be better off if he were dead. Then he says, “Some times I think I might as well kill myself.” He smiles and shrugs his shoulders when he says it. He then reminds you of your promise not to tell anyone. He says that you’re the only person he trusts, and if you tell, he’ll never forgive you.
