How important is your family?

All of us need our family, especially during the tough times. When we are teenagers, we dont realize the importance of family because it is an age of freedom and discovery. The real trouble starts when we are in a job or a relationship that we really need people to come back home to and also to share our experiences with. So I believe that family is really very important.

VERY important. We grow up and go through our life meeting other people and making some very good friends but there's nothing like a family. I mean if you found a very good friend who spends more time with you than with her/his own family that should make you wonder how her/his relationship is with her/him family. I used to fight with my brothers when we were kids and there were some grudges and everything while I was growing up but when we all grew older we're closer with each other than ever before which is amazing because we all live in different countries now but we are in constant communication which is wonderful. I think a good family will support you all the way...if not then that's why some people look for and make good friends.

Family is the MOST important thing in my life. My sister is my best friend and I consider my Mom to be almost like a sister to me. We would do anything for each other. My sister is going through a divorce right now and she moved in with me. We offer each other so much support in a time when we all need it (bad economy).
