text: Have you ever needed a backup answer? Well if so then you can get a back up answer from a friend or two. A lot of people need back up answers in case something pops up. You might need a back up answer if your going out with a boyfriend or girlfriend cause if you make one wrong move with one of them then its over or it could start and argument. Thats one good reason you should always have a back up answer they help you out and lets say you forgot your work at home and its due that day now if you dont turn it in then you ether get a zero or a lower grade. some people ask their friends on what to say. all your have to do is change the wording or have a really good excuse.
