So the elderly making new friends is a positive thing and more people should try to promote this. Ways to promote this would be a program like Academic Service-Learning in all colleges that is a requirement, like a core class. Students will interact with senior citizens, so senior citizens will make new friends. Another way to help correct this issue is having the elderly live with their family rather than live alone. No one likes to be alone because the feeling of loneliness is like a dodge ball. When kids don’t want to play with or even go near it, it is isolated from the other balls. Thus this leads to the ball getting deflated over time.
