My angry rant

So I'm a senior in highschool (yes I'm 18), and my friend was recently caught being high on campus. I don't know the exact details, but I think they also found out that he has made some minor deals on campus before. I understand that doing this was obviously not smart on his part and is deserving on punishment, but here's what's really pissing me off. He's probably going to be expelled because he's not ratting out his friends. He told me that they tried for 45 minutes to get him to say names and since he didn't want to get his friends in trouble, he's probably going to get expelled for it. He's a really nice kid and would never harm anyone and I just think it's so fucked up that his life might be ruined because of this. Sorry for the rant, just had to put my feelings out there. My next bowl will be for him.
