Drop my friend or make up?

I recently went on a trip with 28 people. This guy and I made really good friends while we were there. He asked me for some advice on a girl he liked but was too young for him. I helped him get through it. Eventually, it panned out that he asked me to tell the girl he liked, how he felt about her. She didnt' return the feelings, but we grew as friends while he was trying to get through this. At one point in our trip, he sent me a text and said that he bought a gift for this girl but now she wouldn't want it. I asked him if he needed some money. Because we were still a few days from getting home. He said, ';I'll be ok';, which kind of sounded like he would manage, he could scrape by. So I met up with him and offered him 20 bucks. He took it. Later someone found out the 20 bucks (not by me, I didn't tell anyone). And she scolded me. She told me that he had over $200 on that trip (which was more than I had). She made a comment about how I had fallen into the trap. He defended himself. I'm not sure he realizes he did anything wrong, or even cares to admit it. I enjoyed our friendship (as short as it was). I don't have many guy friends and we were just very laid back and cool. I haven't seen or heard from him since we got back. Last I heard he moved out of his mom's place into his dad's (he's 18). Should I just drop it and go my separate way? Should I let him know what he did was wrong? Should I make an effort to continue our friendship without bringing up the 20 bucks? help!Drop my friend or make up?
That was wrong of him to take it if he had that money. But if you really like him stay his friend. I wouldn't want to loose his friendship so i would probably make up with himDrop my friend or make up?
It's only $20, so if you enjoy having this guy as a friend I'd say why not?
just drop it, unless u really likes him i would suggest just letting him go and the guilt will haunt him as much as he doesnt want to admit it it will haunt him! i promise!!
I think you should continue to be friends with him but maybe not offer to give him money? It was only 20 bucks so it wasn't a huge expense but just be wary.
