I'm feel lucky to have a warm friendly family. I know there are people who do not have a warm family. I feel sorry for them. Althogh, I feel if you have a nice warm feeling towards a person, then you can have a feeling of that person being a family member to you. To me, a family is a person or persons whom you can confide in if you have something that bothers you. I do have a couple of friends whom I feel I can tell them about things that bother me. It's good to get problems off your shoulders.

yes, family is always the best. Family is an extension of yourself. Without famiy you are entirely homeless. During desperate times, you can always count on them. At least I speak of my family. as I always call them with SOS. it is just funny that when I turned ages, i have been meeting a lot of troubles. arrgh! so embarrassing.

It's nice to know that family can comfort you when you have problems..Some people have to go to a psychiatrist because their family do not understand the problems they may have in life..This is understandable. It takes a trained person to be able to deal with people who have conflicts.

Indeed they are ... we had conflicts and issues too and we fought too just like ordinary family. We don't have "perfect" one. but at least when we all mature we fought then after a few minutes we laugh again. we don't dwell on those issues anymore. it is just a passing thing.

Yes you're right, although sometimes a serious problem can arise when there is a disagreement. This is when it can be difficult. We have to realize that these things happen with families or in a marriage. this is when we have to discuss matters. Talk how you have been hurt or how angry you are and let one another know that this can happen again but we don't like it. People who have been emotionally hurt, must discuss their feelings. If they don't, problems can add up to bigger problems.

Family will always there for us, it does not matter if we don't have blood relatives with them, we will still a family. Sometimes some people think that they don't have family because they are an orphan, I think people around who always support you and always by your side when you are at the very low point of your confidence is your family.

YOu are so right. I feel sorry for those who do not have a caring family or close friends. Unless they are strong people, they must feel very lonely and depressed.

This is why i always believe we should really treasure our family because it is something that you could buy using money and a good family would always have your back when you need them . Treasure every moment with them yea.

YOU got it!!!! And you can't take them for granted because when they are gone you miss them. Sometimes you wonder why you weren't nicer at tims when you should have been....but that's life. You don't think about these things until they are gone.

The love and support we get from our family and friends should make us get through any issues we are going through our life. We can never go wrong with them on our side. I am happy as well that I have one loving family.

When you see people who don't have a good relationship with their family, you appreciate your family even more. Sometimes you don't realize how lucky you were until they are gone. I always try to remember to appreciate them so I won't feel guilty if anything should happen to one of my fmily members. It's also wise and thoughtful to let family members know how you feel about them.. We shoud not take advantage of them.

Yes a family is not always blood relation he is one you can rely on times of hardships.

Yes, I agree with you. A person does not have to be blood related to be family. I have friends whom I consider family because they are so warm and caring. I feel so sorry when I see homelss people on the streets. Can you imagine how lonely they must feel?

Yes, I agree with you. I feel sorry for kids who have parents who mistreat them. these kids are put in foster homes, and some of these foster homes are worse than their families were to them. Some of these kids get moved around constantly from one home to another. Sometimes sibbllings are separated. Can you imagine how some of these kids grow up. Alot of them get into trouble when they sre adults. It's not hard to understand when they get tossed around like a dirty rag.
