Both are important in different ways. Family is more important because they are always going to be there for you. You can be yourself around family; around friends sometimes you can be pressured into doing stupid things. There are some people that become such good friends, that they are like family. I think those people are just as important as family. The people that matter the most are the ones that care for you the most, the ones that are going to be there no matter what.

I think both have influenced my life. My parents and family gave me my values and influences, but my friends have given me the confidence to be me because they choose to be my friend based on who I am. If that makes any sense.

i think when we are young and adults friends are the one who influence us a lot and we always try to make friends and try to be with them and go along and agree to them, share our thoughts and take advices and we will be very close to them but this dont happen when we cross this particular age and we finish our studies and get mariied and then we usually feel parents are more important and we listen to them more and ask advices and all those, yes still we listen to our friends but what happens is we become so busy in our lives we dont get much time to speak to them and much time to spend together and the contact reduces.

These days young adults gets influenced more with friends because of the age level and the same things that they are up into.Families that they have may now only supervise them and teach them whether what is good and bad.

family and friends, both play an important role in shaping a person.till the adolescent stage, a person is dependent on his/her parents. at the adulthood stage, a person shares his/her feelings and emotions to their friend.proper parenting and good friendship leads to sure success and both share the same ratio.
