What is more important for you, family or friends?

That's a question that a lot of people may call ridiculous because they think that there is nothing more important than family. But as I know, there are some exceptions. What do you think about it?

It will depend on the experiences of a person. Not everybody is gifted with a good family who will always accept and support them in everything they do. I have a friend who cares for her friends so much because her family doesn't seem to care. She has to work at an early age because her parents doesn't care if she gets educated or not, if she eats or not or if she's having problems. I on the other hand will always prioritize my family over friends for they are the most important people for me. They are supportive and always there when I'm in trouble or just sad. My siblings and I are very close and my parents are fantastic and good people that is why I will choose them over anyone else.

I will choose my family since they were there since I was born. They are the one who, knew me well. Families share and give in to each other. My priority in life is my family.

I think the same, you can trust family with your life in most of the cases.

For me I choose my family than any other friends. Although some of my friends I considered them as one of my family but it's different those your family. You can find more friends than a family.

For me, family is more important than friends. They have been with me longer than my friends and I have built a strong bond with them. But I can also understand why someone might think friends are more important than family. Some people might have a bad experience because their family environment is very dysfunctional. Other people might even be orphans and maybe did not have the opportunity to develop a bond with family because they did not grow up with a family.

Honestly I have a lot of friends but I don't really have time for them because my priority is my family. You can make a lot of friend if you want but you can't really replace your family. Friends just come and go, but your family won't they'll stick with you forever.
