A problem shared is a problem halved

When people have problems, they often go to their friends for help. When people have to make an important decision, they ask their family, and the people they know will help them the most. Right now, my brother is deciding between colleges right now, and it is a very important decision. Instead of taking this problem on by himself, which would be very overwhelming, he is looking to other people for help, which is a smart thing to do. He is not letting other people make the decision for him, obviously, but he is letting other people share with him, so that the problem is not entirely his, and he can relax a little more. This is a very important thing to do, not only as a person with a problem, but being able to help someone else with a problem also.
