We know that kids playing video games often stay in their darkened bedrooms alone, addicted to games crazily. In truth, they are usually communicating with other ________, through audio or text, about the action on the ________. And sometimes the chatter ________ from the world of fantasy to real life.
That’s what happened to 14-year-old Reilly Howard last October. While ________ games, he noticed that an ________ friend, a 13-year-old from Florida, was not in his normal state. Reilly’s ________ was right because the friend messaged him, “You, we need to talk.” Seeing this, Reilly ________ called him.
“He starts to open up about what’s going on in his ________ ‘I have nothing to live for; I’m going to ________ myself,’” Reilly told nbcconnecticut. com. “He couldn’t even talk. He was ________ so much.” Unable to express his ________ in words, his friend typed out, “Tonight is going to be the night.”
According to what the friend said, Reilly could figure out that the friend was in a ________ state, so he decided to stay on the line for as________ as he was needed. “I knew he didn’t want to be ________ at that time, and I didn’t want him to________ his life.” he said.
For two hours, Reilly said everything he could think of to try to persuade his friend to be a ________ man. “I just kept comforting him. And gradually he ________ down.” About that time, Reilly’s parents came home from dinner. Reilly told them about what had happened, and they________ Florida police, who tracked down the boy.
The troubled teen is doing well now, ________ a good friend. Although Reilly had never met him in person, he was willing to put down the keyboard and lend a(n) ________. So sometimes we just need to show up and listen to people.
