Friends are an invaluable ingredient to general happinness. Whenever my friends and I hang out, it often leads to treasured memories and a hope that these get-togethers will happen again in the future. It doesn't matter whether you are a child, a teen or an adult, friends are always essential for support in difficult times. There have been many times in my life where I don't get-together with my friends or I don't have any friends with me and I really live to regret it for being too shy to make other friends at get-togethers.
