Trust is very important with these kids. They only have a short time to become with friends with the people here and they form trust bonds quickly. In this situation, a bond is broken and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. A meeting definitely needs to be held, but I would first talk to both parties involved individually. Getting both sides of the story is important to see if there was miscommunication between the two students. When I have heard both sides I will get both students together to figure out the real problem and a solution.
If indeed the student who was trusted with the secret was at fault, I would try to explain how important keeping that bond intact is crucial to a good living environment. As one student put it, trust is, "Faith in somebody or in something you do" another said, "…the ability to believe in someone". This is important to our students and would hope the other person would understand. Trust is a gift someone gives to another. The best answer I received from a student was this,"...when you give your heart and your brain to other people, to friends, and trust is one of the most important feelings man can can have because it means a testimony of someones goodness."
