Advice Column
From,

Dear Mattie,
According to the text, I heard you have an issue of not having ANY friends, and I can help you with that. I think you should keep doing what you love, but a little more time, interacting with people, find a trustworthy, and understanding friend that you think is your true friend. I think that people should NOT leave you alone, and forget about you because it would be cruel, and you will feel very ignored and upset. I really hope you accept, and do my suggestions I left for you. I know you'll find friends out there. It's your turn now.
