Even though I do have multiple friends to rely on and LOTS of family (and I mean lots of family), I've never realized how bad it would be for me if a scenario like this were to happen.
I was debating to myself on whether I should read this at all or not, but once I did, I was like: Hm, this kid got a good point about his speech!
So yeah.
