A short YouTube monologue (Jacqueline Elliott) urging friends to have the courage to speak up when someone is doing something wrong. The speaker uses the analogy of drinking and driving and tells listeners to 'check' friends (including girlfriends) if their behavior could harm them, arguing that failing to confront wrongdoing lets problems grow like a 'cancer.' The speaker values friends who will stand up and express concerns over those who remain silent or stay in the 'friend zone.'

If I've ever had a problem with any of you guys in the room, it's been because I feel like you're not standing up to do the right thing. You need to speak up, because if you don't do it, you're allowing that other person to just grow a cancer like drinking and driving. You can go have a drink. If you see one of the girlfriends and you're out, you have to freaking have the courage to check their asses or tell them how. No. Stand up for the right thing. And sometimes I think we're so much in the friend zone that we don't have the courage to do that. See, I trust people more that can do that than people that can't.
