do you write the story?
Growing up, your family didn't have much money. But somehow with hard work you made it all the way through college and graduated with a degree in journalism. You also made it all the way through college with your best friend of eighteen years, who has a LOT of money by way of her father's successful business. You get a job reporting at the Chicago Tribune. Your boss hands you your first assignment, which is an expose on your on best friend's father. It turns out he started his business with money made by means of drug trafficking. This story could make your career, establishing you as one of the best new writers and giving you a steady income to help your family who has supported you for your entire life . This story could also end a lifelong friendship and lead to the destruction of that friend's family. Do you write the story? Why or why not? Which is the "right" thing to do?

I would probably not tell if I knew it was going to ruin my friend's family life because that is unfair.
i wouldnt write the story
getting ahead in life while putting other people down is not the right way to go about doing anything. if i was going to make money i would do it in a moral way and not bring somebody else down while doing it.
this sounds a little gg! but i would not write the story, how can you destroy the lives of some just to better the life of one (being yours) not cool my friend, there are other ways to be successful
gg was my inspiration :]
this is a great scenario! (aka clever)
i would NOT write the story and avoid all the drama. seriously - you'd get another story to write, but not another friendship
