You've Got a Friend in Me…
You gotta have friends; they make life a lot more fun.  How great is it to have someone to joke around with, to tell your secrets to, and support you when you're feeling blue? And how great is it knowing that you can be there for someone else in their time of need? Sometimes, though, friendships can get rocky just like any other relationship. You'll probably stir up something with some of your peers who aren't even your friends or you might not even really know.
