    Connecting with others help my mental and emotional health because if I don't have anyone to go to when i'm down it could maybe make my mental health become more worse. It can also help support others because if they are having a mental breakdown and they need someone to talk to about their problems and stuff then you can connect with them by being able to talk to them and help comofort them.
