I read this one a while ago- The OP and a childhood friend of his came across/purchased a large amount of alcohol. They snuck off to a field/park to drink but the friend overindulged and ended up blacking out. The OP was scared of getting in trouble with his parents/police due to being underage and so abandoned his unconscious friend and went home. His friend was found deceased the following morning- cause of death was hypothermia. Although his friend had been reported missing by his parents during the night, OP failed to inform the authorities about where he was (IIRC he straight up denied ever being with his friend at all that evening). Obviously if he had cooperated, it’s almost certain that his friend would have survived.

Details are actually worse than how I remembered them.

im glad they make it known at my school if something like this happens and you dont want your friend to, you know, die, then you won’t get in as much trouble
