There lives a young boy with seemed to have everything he wants. Toys,games,just anything he wants,he gets it.
Provided that he is obedient and produce results with at least 90 and above.
Though the boy had everything, he did not know how to socialize.Day after day,he would spend his time studying,going home on time,going tuition. He was never given the freedom of what a boy needs, even if he wants to carry his own bag, no one allows him.
The boy never had friends.
He never faced hardship.
He didn't know what is call failure until...the first obstacle came. He got a 72 for maths and the other subjects ranging from 95-100 marks. Anyone would be happy except this boy. He was afraid.This is the first time he saw a 7 at the front. He is only used to seeing 9 or 10. This went down hard on him...not just mentally...but physically.
The cane was ruthless at that time.
The strict lifestyle and scoring 100 as a life's job had many effect on this boy. Canes were his greatest fear...
With the strict lifestyle he had,one day he realized he missed out a homework.As a boy who is afraid what's going to come, he ran away instead of facing it. At a tender age of 7, he ran away from school and was afraid that he might get punished. However, instead of admitting it, this boy...kept on running. Eventually ending up at the police station, he even weaved his first ever lie. And that first time was towards a policeman.
When the truth was out,it was harsh on everyone who believed in that boy. But at the same time, it was harsh for that boy's backside and body.
From that day onwards, he know he need something else...FRIENDS. This boy didn't know how to socialize. He didn't do it before. He was afraid that if he made friends and caused trouble, the beating will return.
Without anything or talent to socialize, he made use of money. Sure,it brought him lots of friends but manipulative friends to be exact. The friendship runs on money. Without money,no friends. The boy simply just do it...bcos he didn't know how to talk.He was very quiet and really obedient.
However, reality is harsh.Eventually it slammed on his face real hard. He decided...to start a rebellion. He's so used to beatings that he decided to start a rebellion.
This boy changed.Not only in attitude but also in everything.His results dropped but his source of joy is no longer tons of books.It's friends.Friends that he made with his own effort.
For a quiet guy who never dares to even think of vulgarities to evolve into a lame,cold,vulgarities sprouting,rude,funny,full of insults person, this shows how bad his life was. From a guy who never dares to speak up to someone who speaks up more than ever, this shows how much he changed. He loathe that old life and never wants it back.But if he didn't do anything, it will slam him back again.
But...he found his shield. His protective shield. They are called friends.They protected him so that he shall never need or will return to that sick life where studies are of top priority and sleeping at 10pm,never late and never being rude.
That boy is called Alvin Lee Wei Hang.
I am very thankful for the amount of friends i have.If i didn't have them, i would slowly go back to that sick life and never be the Alvin you all see now.
So now,i am going to thank all of my friends and victims of my mouth,and i mean friends,not those hi and bye,go and die friends or those who i dun often even see. If i leave out anyone...well life's hard,be cool :)
So thank you...

So see, this is the amount of friends that a boy who didn't know how to socialize had within a few years of speaking up. So,why should you be afraid of socializing?It might drag some results down but i can assure life will be better.
This is my life.My story.Actually if i say in person,it will be more real because words are not enough for my life.
