Since we are social beings,the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships.One strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的) conditions.Social support consists of the exchange of resources
among people based on their interpersonal ties.Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems.People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties.Studies over types of illnesses,from depression to heart disease,show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness,and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways.First,friends,relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us.Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties.Second,other people often provide us with informational support.They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them.Third,we typically find social companionship supportive.Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting(转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles.Finally,other people may give us instrumental support-money aid,material resources,and needed services-that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.

Teenagers are often a difficult group.With all those hormones(荷尔蒙)flooding in their bodies,they can be moody,unpredictable,and tend to make uncertain choices.But however confusing their teenage years are,kids can still be generally happy,depending on their lifestyle choices.According to a new research by British scientists,teens who don't smoke,drink only moderately or not at all,and who don't
eat much junk food are likely to be happier than other teens.
The study looked at 40,000 British families and came up with some interesting findings.For example,kids who never drank alcohol were up to six times more likely to report higher levels of happiness than kids who drank.And teens who smoked were five times less likely to rate high on happiness charts compared to kids who didn't smoke.The same goes for diet and physical activities.The more fruits and vegetables kids eat,and the more hours they spend playing sports,the happier they are.
Now,of course this doesn't mean that not smoking or drinking,and playing sports can guarantee happiness.It could be that kids who have happy character tend to be more active and less addicted to drinking or smoking.And it could equally be the case that kids who are unhappy are more related to drinking,smoking and eating junk food.
Other studies have shown that exercise is a proven way to treat anxiety and depression.Future studies may support the idea that other healthy behaviors,including refraining(克制)from smoking,drinking,and eating too much junk food,can avoid sadness and increase happiness,too.
