Family or Friends?

Definetly not my family! Sometimes a friend but mostly i manage to get by on my own

A friend..lol...I dont usually need a confidante..I usually need someone to rant at and let it all out to...usually a certain friend coz sometimes I can get abit heated so i'd only talk to her coz she knows me well enough to calm me down...hehe

im a bit different lol

there are certain things i'd turn to friends for, but then theres other things i'd turn to family for.

i guess im a mixture, i turn to both when i need them Alhamdulillah

hmm...there are certain things you can only tell certain people...but if you're the eldest like me, you usually end up being a support for others but with nothin left for yourself..lol

b4 I got married it used to be friends for me too........now it's definately family

thats strange.. im the youngest but my brothers and sisters have turned to me a lot. even my cousins Alhamdulillah

It depends on each individual I guess...I dont have any older siblings or cousins to speak of but aunties etc have turned to me....but I wouldnt like to burden a youngster with my problems..I guess thats just the way I think...

This is pretty much an age related subject. Children prior to starting school will nearly always turn to family, in the early school years it is a little mixed but still mostly family. In the teen years it is almost exclusivly friends until marriage. after marriage it is usually the spouse for a few years and then spoused, Parents and children. By mid years it becomes nearly total independence with no help sought from any one. Then in the later years it becomes all family again, while there is still some family left, then after the family is all gone. It becomes friends once again.

woah!! thats complex! lol am still at the 'telling friends' stage...but from what bro Woodrow said..it sounds a little sad...we only have certain people we can turn to or depend on

i dnt really hav anyone in my family to talk to coz i have younger siblings/cousins and i dnt really want to talk to the adults.

Depends on the issue..but usually its friend or my cousin who's the same age as me
