In this video from the Mental Floss YouTube channel, host John Green fills you in on the facts about friendship. You’ll learn that while the number of friends you have at any given time usually remains the same, you lose and replace about half of your friends every seven years (so enjoy the time you have), and that not getting enough social interaction in your life can have negative health effects similar to smoking or drinking too much alcohol.
