Friendship bests fears, sparks courage in viral video

A beautiful viral video is proving where fear fails, friendship prevails.

In Maine, a girl named Suzy Cloutier got up to speak at a news conference for STRIVE - a nonprofit that serves teens, like her, with developmental disabilities.

Overcome with stage fright and a fear of public speaking, her nerves got the best of her.

At one point, she's in tears.

Until a friend stepped in and cheered her on and gave her courage.

And Suzy did speak, delivering her message of why this group is so important to her.

A standing ovation and an amazing lesson in the power of friendship and how much it really means to believe in others and to be believed in.
