Duane stands in a colourful TV studio. A red screen behind him reads "Help Zone." He is in his mid-twenties, clean-shaven with short black hair. He wears a blue T-shirt.

Holding a white folder that reads "Loleniness," Duane says HEY TVOKIDS, COUNSELLOR DUANE
FROM KIDS HELP PHONE
WITH AN E-MAIL FROM OUR
FRIEND EMILY,
WHO WRITES:

He reads SOMETIMES I FEEL LONELY,
AND I HAVE NO FRIENDS.

He says WELL THE FIRST THING
I WANNA SAY EMILY,
I'M REALLY SORRY TO HEAR
THAT YOU FEEL THAT WAY.
SOMETIMES FEELING LONELY
CAN BE A REALLY DIFFICULT THING
AND SO I WANNA ASK,
IS THERE ANYONE THAT YOU'VE
NOTICED THAT YOU THINK
IS A NICE PERSON
MAYBE SOMEBODY AT SCHOOL,OR AT
AN EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITY
OR MAYBE SOMEBODY THAT LIVES IN
YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD AS WELL,
AND IF YOU HAVE NOTICED SOMEONE
THAT YOU THINK THAT IS NICE
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT
APPROACHING THEM AND LETTING
THEM KNOW,HI MY NAME IS EMILY
SOMETIMES THE SIMPLEST
WAYS TO CONNECT WITH SOMEONE
CAN FLOURISH INTO A FRIENDSHIP.
SO YOU MAY WANT TO
THINK ABOUT THAT
IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO BE
CONFIDENT IN OURSELVES
AND RECOGNIZE THAT
WERE A GOOD PERSON,
WHO DESERVES TO BE TREATED WITH
RESPECT, AND WERE WILLING TO
TREAT PEOPLE WITH CARE
AND RESPECT
ONCE WE CAN UNDERSTAND THAT,
IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR OTHERS,
TO NOTICE WHAT A GREAT
PERSON WE ARE AS WELL.
I'M CERTAIN YOU'RE A GREAT
PERSON EMILY,
I GUARANTEE YOU DESERVE
TO HAVE FRIENDS,
SOMETIMES IT TAKES
A BIT OF EFFORT,
AND I HOPE THIS ANSWER HELPS.

He smiles.
