As a Resident Advisor, there was another RA who often came to me to discuss her complaints and she shared quite a bit of information about activities she'd engaged in that violated the rules. Although I did not mind being a resource for her, I knew I could not compromise my integrity or her residents' safety. I talked to her about the situation and told her that I would have to tell my supervisor, even though I knew she would be upset. She eventually understood my responsibility and why I had to come forward with information. She knew that what she had done was against the rules, but never realized before I talked to her that she had jeopardized her residents' safety.
