True, it's good to have a relationship where you can set up an understanding of not crossing lines with one another. For example if someone tells me they don't want to talk about something we respect that boundary and not cross it.

No, as much as you would like to know and help someone who's going through some emotions you shouldn't pry. Its better to reach out and wait for them to come to you then it is pry and lose a friend.
Someone you know just got into a fight with someone else. They are obviously angry. You ask them if they are okay, and he tells you to leave him alone what should you do.
You leave the person alone, again this is a boundary that this kid set up. He doesn't want to talk about it and should be left alone.
