    This is an interesting question that makes you think really hard. I would say that family are more important over your whole life time as they will always be there and are people you can rely on. Groups of friends change over time as you get older, they are very important at particular times in your life and you often miss old friends as you drift apart, for whatever reason.

    What do others think?

    I think family is important because your family loves you and they care for you.

    I think friends are more important than family. Family aren’t always there for you. For example: you might have a sibling which might fight with you and they won’t always there for you. However, friends are always there for you otherwise there not good freinds and if you have a fight and break up it will be for about half an hour and your family might be for three or four hours. It’s the same thing when it comes to trustworthy people. You can always trust your freinds but you can’t always trust your family. Not always.

    I think family is more important because your mum is part of your family and she gave birth to you and if you didn’t have a family you wouldn’t be alive. Friends are still important but family is more inportant.

  15. Conrad H says:

    Its a tricky question however I think family is more important because friends are the family we choose for ourselves. Also family is always there for you. For example if something is bothering you at school they still love you.

    When you are with your family they care for you and they love you.

  21. Emily B says:

    I think family is more important because we live with them and we see them every day. But we dont see our friends ever day.

  22. Skye H says:

    I think family is very important because we live with them and we care for are family ever day. But we don’t live with our friends or see them ever day but friends are important as well , they care for us when we are sad and laugh with us when we are happy.
    I think we need both friends and family as they all make our day better.

  23. Jack S says:

    I say both because they are always there for you. But like skye says friends laugh with us when we’re happy and cheer us up when we are sad. so they do the-same job really.

  24. Katy W says:

    I think friends are just as important as family; they both support you, in different ways of course, but they still do it. Family may not play with you as much as friends, but they are still equally important.

  25. Jasmine B says:

    I think family is just important than friends because friends may have a fight with you.However, not always you can trust your friends.

  26. Olivia B. says:

    I think family is important because family feeds you.BUT not all the time friends break up.

  27. Amelia T says:

    I know I’m late at commenting but I believe family are more important than friends because you know your family all your life.

  28. Skye H says:

    I think that friends and family are both importent because your family are always there for you and care for you if your sad.Your friends are inportent as well as your family. Friends can upset you and you can upset them but in side they will always be your friends and you will be there’s.

  29. Imogen C says:

    What an interesting and deep question you have come up with! I personally can’t make up my mind as I think as important and close your families are, at the same time, during your life and education, you can meet life changing people that become your friends.
