A: There is not enough information given to respond in a helpful way. What is the nature of the harassment? What is the 17 year old being told not to disclose? Are his parents or guardians aware of this or involved in the process? Has he been given an opportunity to show the document to a lawyer? Is your question whether he can be forced to make this choice?that isn't clear since you don't ask a question.
