Define the Problem: You borrow your friend's school laptop but accidentally spill water on it and...

1. Explore the Alternatives: 1. Secretly go to the Tech Help Center and ask them to fix it. 2. Tell your friend the truth about what happened. 3. Casually give your friend back the laptop and pretend nothing happened to it. 4. Try to fix the laptop by yourself. 5. Go to an Apple store and ask them to fix the laptop.

1.1. Consider the Consequences: 1. The tech staff might fix it for you but inform your parents about it. 2. Your friend could get really angry at you and not trust you anymore. 3. Your friend might not notice what happened and just get on with it. 4. While fixing it by yourself you might accidentally damage it even more. 5. At the Apple store they might require you to pay an expensive fee to fix it.

1.1.1. Identify Your Values: - This incident might go on your school record and affect your chances of getting into a good college. - Your parents cannot tolerate lies. - Your friend might get into trouble instead.

1.1.1.1. Decide and Act: I would choose number 3 (telling the truth): 1. First, I would tell my friend what happened and apologize. 2. I would then go to the Tech Help Center with my friend and tell the tech staff what happened. 3. After that, I would deal with any charges for the water damage. 4. My friend and I would also tell both of our parents about the damage.

1.1.1.1.1. Evaluate the Results: - This decision worked out well since I was able to clearly work it out with my friend and the tech staff without any problems or misunderstandings. - It has affected my life because now I realize that being honest will actually be better in these situations because if you aren't truthful, others could be blamed. - It has affected my friend because she now knows to be more careful when lending her belongings and how to calmly solve problems like these when they happen. - I learned that in daily life, everyone sometimes messes up, but when those things happen, being truthful and getting out clean is better than lying and sneaking past out. This is because if you are honest about it, adults and people that you need help from will clearly understand what happened and they will help you solve the problem. - If I could do it again, I would do the same thing except that when the incident happened, I would first immediately tell my parents, the tech staff, and my friend's and my teachers. This way, they could all know what happened if my friend has any problems in daily work because of the water damage.
