Thomas Robert Malthus, an English cleric, and scholar, published this theory in his 1798 writings, An Essay on the Principle of Population. He believed that through preventative checks and positive checks, the population would be controlled to balance the food supply with the population level.
Thomas Malthus was a British economist and the first Scientist that sounded the alarm about the growth of the human population and the ability of the earth to handle a large population.
He was known for population growth philosophies and even proposed a theory that “population will continue to expand until growth is stopped or reversed by disease, famine, war or calamity”.
He is also known for developing an exponential formula used to forecast population growth which is currently known as the Malthusian growth model
Make up an excuse or text your parent to call you and make it seem like they really want you home and then have them come pick you up. Your parents shouldn't be mad when you tell them the truth and that you felt unsafe. But don't risk yourself for what some "friend" thinks, if they are truly your friend they will care about you and wouldn't put you in a situation like that.
