Is it bad if we depend on our friend for something?

One of the most important value of a friend is that they will help. As we get older we need people we can depend on as well as being a dependable personal friend to them.

A good friend will be there for you. It is fine to ask a friend to help, just make sure that you aren't asking for something they can't or shouldn't do. Friends are there for each other. I can give you personal examples if you wish. The answer is that, yes, it is fine, but only to an extent.

nope, it is not bad. friends are there to be depended on. if i have friends, then i know that i can depend on them. the same goes to them. they know too that they can depend on me on things that i can do for them. i think this is the essence of friendship. without this bond of dependence, then friendship becomes merely acquintances.

It depends on your request. Maybe you ask them for help but it would mean they do something bad and that's why they refuse. But real friends will help you and make you someone strong, they will encourage you and they also discourage you from anything that might be bad for you.

It is not bad to ask for help, but we must also realize that just because a friend can't help us doesn't mean that they are no longer good friends. They might be having some issues themselves that they have to prioritize. Or maybe they just simply wasn't that blessed to be able to help you out. Personally, I believe that we must not depend everything to the people around us. We must push ourselves to be self-sufficient and self-reliant as much as possible, be independent. And when we really need help, it is because we really can't do anything more about it by ourselves alone.

You can only rely and depend on yourself. Sure, friends are great, they help. But there can always be those that will expect a favor returned, or disapear just when you most need them. So don't ask for help unless it's absolutely unavoidable. You gotta do what you do for yourself, by yourself, and when you reach a point that everything is covered and you rarely if ever need to ask anyone for anything. Then you can decide whether you want to help somebody, or help nobody :)
