I don't think so. As long as you're sure the two people aren't related and you keep the anonymity, you can give examples to explain a few stuff

That depends on the situation and the person whose secret it is originally. If you think that the person will come out of it if a few people then you should ask the person if you share their story with others or not, sharing their story without their consent isn't the right way.

I always feel the best way to approach an issue like this is to consider what your answer would be if the situation were reversed. What if this other person were asking this question... what would your answer be? Personally, if someone were to tell others about my experiences that I have confided in them I would feel violated, certainly I would never trust them again. My advice is if someone tells you a secret it is still their secret, and it's up to them who it gets told to.

If it's just friends, I say yes. It's not their place to know; if the person wanted them to know they would told them, you know bc they trusted you and you telling would break that trust. If it's serious, never question breaking the trust to tell an offical or someone that can help.

Yes. That is not your information to share. If that person confided in you about their experiences, and have not told others yet, then it is their choice, not yours. They trusted you to talk to, so you should keep their information to yourself.

If it's something serious and someone (like an adult or the authorities) needs to know then definitely tell. otherwise it's not your secret to tellâ¤

I think that we can learn from others' traumatic experience and on the basis of this knowledge we can help others who are suffering fro the same problem. However, this doesn't mean that we reveal who is the person exactly because it is somehing secret that can cause harm to that person. All people's experience should be kept confidential.

it really depends on whether youve talked to them first, some people hate others sharing stuff about them, others dont mind as much.
