If this doesn't work,bring in a friend that you feel comfortable with,and have him or her help you.

这是have的句型之一,让某人做某事.如：
The teacher had us read aloud English every day.老师让我们每天朗读英语.
He had his son help his mother with the housework.他让儿子帮助妈妈做家务.中文意思是什么？是不是“让某人做某事“？和”make sb. do sth"一样的吗？一样的，不过make sb. do sth. 语气更强硬一些，有一点点强迫的意思。
