For me- it's a tough decision.
I love my family, like most people do, but at the same time I truly love my friends.

Deciding between them may be easy, well for me at least, but life without one or the other would be impossible.

I'd say my family.

Your family will be the only ones who would stand besides you throughout your lifetime, they would forever support you, and even make you of more importance than themselves.
Im mainly talking about my parents.


You friends, doesn't matter how close you are to them, have their own lives. They would support you, help you, be there for you when you need them, but there's a point that it comes to, where that friend needs to live their own life, where their kids, or their family is of more importance to them than their friends.

The usual question - "If your mum/sister and your best friend was drowing, and you could only save one, who would you choose?"

This is a typical "who do you love more" question. It's difficult, you want both to survive- but if you can only choose one, Im sure most of you would choose your family. Anyways- I would. It would kill me inside to have lost a friend, but my family would be their to console me, and make me understand that life goes on.

I'll chose my family. I have few friends in real life. My friends are always temporary. Have no idea where my childhood friends are... ::) I don't even have any contact with my friends of 2 years back.

But, family is permanent.

This is very difficult.

 Our family, as alpha rightly said, makes us and gives us the friends we have.

I love my family and friends a lot  :-*

Both!...

family gave me ....my identity...
and friends gave me everything else..
The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling!
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it.

i prefer family cuz they r the only ones who tell me my bad habits in a nice way , they never insult me , they love me , they value me , they treat me as i am the world to them , they miss me when we get separated......i simply can never get them out of my heart even if distance or death kept us apart .

i didn't choose friends , cuz  they can never do anything of what is mentioned above cuz they have their own lives and families that they care abt hence u'll always be an option in a friend's life but a priority in a sibling's  life
