A Year 10 student you have been working with at Acorn College has had many behavioral issues since he started school. You are quite empathetic toward the student as you are aware of the student's troubled background. The student lives on your street with his mother, who is always between jobs. You know that the student's father moved interstate with his new partner. You often see the student in the local shopping center, and he always says hello to you respectfully. You share a common interest in art and can communicate with him on a level that not many other staff members have been able to do. The student has been suspended many times and is now down to his final warning before being expelled. On this day, you notice a small bag of marijuana has fallen out of his jacket directly in front of you. 

Since his behavior has improved in the last few weeks, you are undecided about what to do, and he is pleading with you not to say anything. You know that you need to take the matter further but are torn between knowing the student, his recent improved behavior, and the fact that he has done the wrong thing.
