Some neighbors does"nt extend their hand for others.

I have tried to reach out to my neighbors. I have offered my friendship and food. I have one neighbor who I have given her food to feed her children when she didn't have any money or food in the house. I gave her rides when she needed to go somewhere. I have watched her kids so she can go to her womens classes at church. I have been there to listen when she needed to talk. Now, she acts like I don't exist. I have another neighbor, who is very young and has 2 boys. I have given her clothes for them and tried to be her friend. The only time she talks to me is when her boyfriend has beat her up, or they are fighting, and she is scared. She will come over here because she knows she is safe here. Other than that, I don't exist to her. Finally, my next door neighbor is an elderly woman who is a ball of fire. She is absolutely a delight to talk to and I know that if I need anything, I can go to her. I have offered her my help repeatedly and she refuses it because she wants to be independent and I understand that. As for the other 10-15 houses on the block, I have lived here 3 years and do not even know their names.

u r right..but see very one r not like us..i wil day u one example..once my neighbours house was one fire.unfortunatl there was no current supply then me and my father call fire force and tred to reduce the growing fire by taking our stored drinking water but hte other neighbour didnt do anything. they simply said " its drinking water i cant use them for distinguhing fire".see the way others think...but eventhough our neighbour didnt help. we need to give them our two hand when they r in trouble...remember our such feel make s differ from animals..Be Human...God will help us..

I think it's got a lot to do with trust ,people are not as trusting of others and so keep to themselves in case they get a kick up the backside instead of a thankyou. Its the way the world is today and its very sad that neighbours don't look out for one another the way it once used to be when everyone in the street knew each other ,but I guess with the violence thats around us every day people have become wary of getting to close to their neighbours.

well, we are blessed to have such wonderful neighbors.. they are always there to lend a helping hand most especially during emergency situations.. i remember when my sister was attacked by our dog, our friendly neighbors came to rescue her.. they accompanied her to the nearest hospital and even stayed longer to give love and support..

You can't expect everything from your neighbors.Most of them are selfish even in troubles.

Yes, I agree with this. But some neighbours don't want to make relationships with people, these people are generally quite unpleasant people. For example my neighbours always leave full bin bags at the front of their house, and i have a labrador and living up to true labrador fasion she always pulls stuff out of the bin bags and eats it, and there was no way to stop her doing this as we cannot take her for a walk without walking past the neighbours house, as we live in a clu-de-sac. Anyway i was concerned about the matter and also worried about the prospect of rats and so i went to have a word with my neighbours. I asked them very politely to try and keep the big bags in the back garden or the always empty weelie bin that they own. They replied to this with 'f*** off you w*****, go sort out you're own s*** boring life!!!' I was completely offended by this, but did not want to lower myself to their level. This was a week ago and since i have reported it to the council. But it just goes to show that some people really don't care about their neighbours or others in the community.
