Why friend networks are so important
If your friends are friends you are likely to feel more supported.
A study done by Ohio State University has found people whose friends and family know and like each other feel they have more social support.
The study author, David Lee, says the more cohesive and dense your network of friends and family is, the more you feel you can rely on them.
He says, “it matters if your friends can depend on each other, just like you depend on them.”
