"Friendship doubles joy and havles grief."

What I get from this is that friendship gets you out of the hard times, or being depressed, and often keeps you out of them. For example, last year i had a few rough patches in school and out of school that I needed someone to talk to to cheer me up and get me through it. I owe my friends for where I am now and I plan to keep up my grades and not worry about things so much that bothered me in the past. I just try to be laid back and chilled out most of the time now.
