1. Do you consider a friend (or your friends in general) your family? Why?
2. Are friends or family members more important to you?

I'll answer my own questions =P
1. I consider one of my best friends to be my sister. I call her my sister and she calls my mom and dad "mommy" and "daddy". She texts my mother more than I do. We punch, kick, pinch, slap, and make fun of one another. We also look out for one another.
There are a few other friends I consider like family, but she's the best example.
2. Blood means nothing to me. I feel something for someone because of who they are, not what I'm expected to feel for them.

blood is everything to me. i find your second answer horrible.
i will put my life before anyone in my family.

friends can mean a lot once you find the ones worth keeping around.
other then that they can all fuck off.

When I said blood means nothing to me, I wasnt trying to say I dont care about anyone in my family. I was trying to say I wont care for someone who doesnt deserve it, just because they happen to be in my family tree. I love and respect my parents and grandmother because they've raised me, they've taught me a shitload of things, and they support me endlessly. I refuse to waste emotion on people who've added nothing to my life but problems (I have a rather dysfuntional family =P).

I believe that you kinda have a bond with your family from the start. However, I also believe that you can create bonds with friends that at are stronger than family as well.

1. Do you consider a friend (or your friends in general) your family? Why?
YES, but only like 2 of my friends i consider like family, there just like my family. you know, my best friend was the one who helped me give birth! lol so yea were pretty close.



2. Are friends or family members more important to you?
same/same.
that's a stupid question (:

1. Do you consider a friend (or your friends in general) your family? Why?

- I don't really consider them my family, so no. The friend that I am closest to is often times mistaken for my sister. We do have some similar characteristics, so I understand the mistake. I wouldn't go as far as calling her my sister though.

2. Are friends or family members more important to you?

- I think family is more important to me. Your family has always been there, since day one. The moment of your birth you were a part of them. No matter what happens between you and a member of your family, they are still family. As for a friend, they haven't always been there. They might mean a lot to you, but that could change. After a single brutal fight, you can stop calling them a friend, that would be it. I don't find the label "friend" as permanent as "family."

I can see someone picking apart my response, but I don't care, that's just how I view it.

1. Do you consider a friend (or your friends in general) your family? Why?

-No I do not. I've had tons of friends, friends I've become really close with to have them stab your back where family wouldn't.

2. Are friends or family members more important to you?

- Yes, I tend to be really close with my family. It's not the same with all families I know, but with mine it is. I'm closer with most of my cousins than I am with my friends.

1. Do you consider a friend (or your friends in general) your family? Why?
- I don't think I could consider my friends as family, because... well, they aren't. I think Friends and Family are very different in that you choose to like your friends, whereas you just love family because you have to... I love my family, some of them more than others, but I don't have to LIKE them... if you know what I mean.

2. Are friends or family members more important to you?
- I like them for different reasons, not one more than the other.

1. I do consider my really close friends family. and i belive friends are the family you choose yourself!!!

2. I'll almost always put the family im close to before my friends because friends can come and go but family will always be there for you!

I have about three friends who I have known forever as my family. I love them as sisters and brothers, and know that they will always be a part of my life. I live in a very close family, and they are also a part of that.
