Para.4
These studies show the health benefits of friendship. In general, people with friends have better physical health, have better mental health, feel less stress, and live longer than people without friends.
Para. 5
Why is this true? The main reason is this: With friends, life is easier. It is easier in two ways. First, friends give emotional support. For example, a friend will listen to your problems. A friend will give advice. A friend will help you make a decision. Friends also give you material support. For example, they will loan you money, give you a ride to school, or take care of your pet. These kinds of support make people feel less stressed. And less stress makes people healthier, both physically and mentally.
Para.6
You can have many friends or just one good friend. Either way, research proves the benefits. As the saying goes, “There is no doctor like a true friend.”

For example, two friends might both believe that family is very important, or that it is important to do volunteer work or help save the environment. Two friends might also have similar political ideas.
