Should I give my friend my award that was supposed to be half his?

Question

There's this senior boy at school. He's really nice and we're friends. Anyway yesterday a new boy transferred to my school. We were talking and the new boy met my friend, and he was like, "you look really familiar", and that there was a boy that went to the school he transferred from that left at the end of their 8th grade year. Then later another friend was telling me that the new kid said that there was a person with the exact same name that left at the end of 8th grade because he got a girl pregnant at 14. My friend came to school at the beginning of freshman year. She was telling me this and he walked into the class as she was saying it and had a really pissed off look on his face and left the room and probably school. 

After school I went over to his house and he was outside with this toddler. I asked him if that was who I think it is. He told me that it was his daughter and that it was true that at 14 he got a girl pregnant and left because everyone found out about it and wouldn't leave him alone about it and transferred where no one knew about his daughter. 

We were supposed to accept a basketball and football honours award together but he called me and told me that he got his half of the award taken away because they found out that he became a father at 14, and they think that giving him the award would influence teen pregnancy.

At the awards ceremony I want to give him my award that was suppossed to be half his, because I think he deserves it more then I do. He's been through a lot and goes to school, make good grades, play sports and take care of his daughter. I think that's a role model for me and others. Not because of a mistake he made 4 years ago but that he continued on and accomplished a lot. 

I really want to give him my award tonight, because he deserves it a lot more. Would that be bad if I gave it to him tonight?

Yes I think you should. Tell whats going on like my friend made a mistake 4 yrs ago and because of that mistake he lost the award but i'm giving it to him because he earned it and most of all he delt with his life promblems and took respondsibilty for them, which is what a real man does, or something like that. I think your doing the right thing.

i don't think of it would be undesirable. i think of it is loopy that those people desperate to do away with some thing as trifling as a activities award (I mean trifling interior the grander scheme of issues, for sure it is fantastically cool) as a results of fact they don't approve of this toddler's life. How stupid do they think of youngsters are? Like they are going to look at him and say, "Wow! possibly if i'm getting pregnant/get somebody pregnant, i'm going to get a activities award too!" i think of it is great that this toddler has controlled to be the variety of success pondering what he's been with the aid of, and that merits some form of award. i think of your thought is a stunning gesture, whether it would desire to place this toddler in a spotlight while suitable now he's in simple terms attempting to slot in. it is a few thing it is beneficial to sparkling with him first. yet another determination is to easily talk your thoughts with people giving the award formerly-hand, or in simple terms refuse the award your self. even though you finally end up doing, i think of it is sweet to precise your opinion approximately this and teach some help for this guy, as a results of fact for sure he would desire to apply some suitable now.

That's ridiculous of the school to do that. I'd complain to the school. It's totally laughable, surely whoever is in control of the awards can see that no ones going to be like, "Oh, well he won an award even though he got a girl pregnant. That means its ok for me to get pregnant" It's stupid. I say, complain like hell. Good luck XxX
