what do i do when print doesnt print and is the first line of the script?

My print isn't printing and the print command is the first line of the script. The localscript isn't in workspace and is somewhere where the localscript would work. Here is the script I wrote.

print("the amount of scripts")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
if not character or not character.Parent then
	character = player.CharacterAdded:wait()
end
local textboard = game.Workspace.board.SurfaceGui.TextLabel
		local USERNAME = player.Name
print("PLEASE")
		local function iterPageItems(pages)
			return coroutine.wrap(function()
				local pagenum = 1
				while true do
					for _, item in ipairs(pages:GetCurrentPage()) do
						coroutine.yield(item, pagenum)
					end
					if pages.IsFinished then
						print("finished loading friends")
						break
					end
					pages:AdvanceToNextPageAsync()
					pagenum = pagenum + 1
			

		local userId = Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(USERNAME)
		local friendPages = Players:GetFriendsAsync(userId)
		local usernames = {}
		for item, pageNo in iterPageItems(friendPages) do
			table.insert(usernames, item.Username)
		end
		textboard.Text = "happy birthday from " .. table.concat(usernames, ", ")		
	end
			end)
		end
