The boy spent the night alone at Morton Plant Hospital before he was seen by a child psychologist the next day and discharged.

JEBALIYA, Gaza Strip – Surrounded by mountains of rubble that were once their homes, two dozen children sat on a rainbow-colored blanket and drew with crayons.
They quickly filled the pages passed around by trauma counselors with pictures of Israeli tanks, dead bodies and Palestinians firing assault rifles — scenes they saw when Israel's war on Hamas came into their neighborhood.
"We felt we will die soon," 11-year-old Sharif Abed Rabbo told the group, describing his family's escape.

Granted I am not at the point in my life to be married yet (in terms of personal development and relationship status), but as the number of my former classmates getting hitched begin to increase, one tends to start to freak out over biological clocks and wonder if the guy you're currently dating is... dun dun dun - "the ONE".
Even after you've gotten that all figured out, there is then the cost of the wedding you need to worry about (among many many other things).
