But friendship is as important to our wellbeing as eating right and exercising. What’s more, friendships help us grow through each year of our lives.

The friends we meet in school teach us how to be patient, wait our turn, reach out, and try new hobbies. When we move into young adulthood we learn more about taking responsibility, finding a career path, and seeking out people as mentors.
