They always say that blood is thicker than water and I agree. Family and relatives are always with you no matter what happens. Your friends, even the best of your friends could come and go but where blood relations are concerned, they are always there beside you. You can fight with one another, say whatever things you want to your family or relatives but when things go wrong, who else is there to help one another? Of course, it is the family.
Family and relatives because they are related to you in blood hold a special bonding that will always spark when things happen. Even if relatives fight together, when other people are concerned, your blood relative will always be at your side and not the other person.
There are instances when relatives and families hate each other but they always have the second thought when incidents such as calamities and adversities occur. Blood relatives will find each other in the end and help each other.

I have to respectfully disagree, the only people in my family that are there for me when i need them are my mom step dad and older brother. The other members in my family i wouldnt count on to save if i was drowning. Then there is my best friend who would help me no matter what no matter when. And what makes her more special is that she chooses to be my friend and does not feel obligated to help because of being family. Yeah your family will always be your family and some friends do come and go, but i would count more on my friends to help me then my family other than the ones i have mentioned.

it is suppose to be. but i see it way too often where it's not thicker then water. family should be everything. we have one family and we have tons of friends or at least able to make more friends.
to me i see people has so much less respect towards other people specal to family

No it's not true. The idea that families and relatives are always with you is completely untrue. I love the family that HAVE always been there for me, and always will be, but thats because they;re good people who look out for me, not because they're family.
I have plenty of family who I rarely see, and don't matter in the slightest, and I think if everyone thought about how big their families actually were, it would be the same for most people.
