So, a few months ago i started talking to this kid in my school because, although he has friends and talks to them, he just seems a little dark and lonely. Well, it turns out my thoughts were true and i've become one of the only people that he talks to about his issues and stuff. Anyways, apparently today he got called down to the office at school because people were spreading rumors that he had drugs and was planning a shooting at school. He told me that a police officer was there as well as a guidance counselor and that he was really scarred. He claims none of this was true though, and he let them search his stuff for drugs, etc., and i believe him. Even if i didn't though, there's no was i'm going to tell him, because, i mean, he needs someone to listen, right? Well anyways tomorrow he has to talk to a counselor and so i told him just to be completely truthful and hopefully she'll believe him. So, i want to know if you guys think there's anything else i should do? Really, i only want to give advice, i don't want to get dragged too far into a situation like this, and i feel like just giving advice is relatively harmless and can easily be excused if i was questioned about any of this. And, while i know i probably should be his friend, there's no way i can do that. That's just too mean and i'd hate to see what it would do to him. Anyways, thank you very much for taking the time to read this, and sorry it's so long.

You should just be there to support him as long as you can. Just so he has someone to talk to to let the stress it may bring out.
But your right about not getting too too involved. If things get too out of hand I would take a step back so you don't get yourself caught up in it.
But other then that, way to be a nice person helping a troubled kid! I'm sure he'll appreciate you with whatever happens.

Thank you :) It's nice to know that i've been approaching this the right way. I guess all i can really do now is hope that things will be worked out.

the best advice i can give you is listen to him but dont get involved in anything.
like be his friend talk to him on the computer and like facebook or something like that but hanging out with him and stuff, im not to sure because you never know. people do a lot of awkward things when theyre insecure but yet thats when they need friends. draw yourself a fine line and help as much as you can and if he passes the line you know to stop and just be TRUTHFUL.
