    At my age right now (14) and probably to most ppl in their teens :DDD, most of us would care for friends, as it being our top piority i guess >w<. But if you had to pick one of the two, that you would have to keep forever, which would you pick?
    For me, family life is pretty average, and with friends id be crusheddd. :'(, however, without my family, i would have no support, no food, no home. D:. So i would stick with family. :3
     
    Obviously my family, lol.

    I mean I hate them and all as much as the next guy and I wish they were dead and think they're out to make my life miserable, but they're always there for me even when I don't want them to be and I care about them despite how much I say that I hate them. Friends let me down all the time, and I've had very few friends who have stuck with me. Friends come and go all the time and I only have a few quality friends.
     
    Honestly neither. I don't really like my friends that much. As for my family I love them in a really generic way. I can't really put it into words. I just don't really feel anything between either my friends or my family that is anything substantial. I do hope everything goes well for them though.
     
    I put my family first because I know that I have to look after my parents when I get older and have a job.
     
    I'd pick my family for now even though I hate them a lot, since I'm only 13 and I don't have a job lol XD; I'd pick my friends after I get a job :'3
     
    I consider many of my friends as an extension of my family since we all pretty much grew up together and we're so comfortable around each other and know each other so well. So, both, in a way? Haha. If I *really* had to choose, it would be my family, since they've always been there for me and I've never had any real reason to push them away.
     
    Mi familia. I don't like them and I think they're excessively annoying at times. But you know, they probably don't like me as much either. They've stuck around me for a long time and tolerated me just as I tolerated them, so forever doesn't seem so long then.
     
    Family. I hardly have friends to begin with. Also, I'm pretty tight with my family, even if I don't talk to them nearly often enough. I wouldn't want to lose them. ;___;
     
    I've always been a big believer in the idea that you can choose your family. My ideal situation is a family made up of really close friends, where we can have fun and support each other and really enjoy life.

    As for right now, if you'd asked me this question five years ago I would have said my family. Now, I honestly find that I like my friends better and I prioritise them first. My friends are amazing, they make me laugh and they are there when I need them - whereas I feel like all my family does is judge me. I don't like being around them because I feel like they suffocate me and have an unnecessary opinion on my every move.
     
    This is a tough question. Some of my friends are amazing and I don't know what I'd do without them, but on the other hand there are also some that annoy me and I would rather do without. The same goes for my family, I love them to pieces but people like my stepdad and my brother ruin it a little bit.
    If I had to choose though I'd have to side with my family simply because I've been through more with them.
     
    The difference between friends and family is that I get to choose my friends... They go out of their way to help me, and the same vice versa.... It may sound cold-hearted but, I would actually choose friends over family.

    Sure, relation is important, but the fact that I share the same genetic makeup with someone doesn't mean that I have to prioritize them above all else. Don't get me wrong, I would decimate anyone who would lay so much as a finger on my family in an ill-mannered way. But if I honestly had to choose, I would say that I like my friends marginally more than I do anyone else.

    I have been thorough more with them, and we have supported each other more than our respective families have. I indeed do have a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Multiple, actually. And it's worth noting that someone who eventually becomes family, a significant other, was formerly a friend for most people.
     
    My immediate family. They are awesome. Got no qualms spending time with them instead of with others.

    Extended family, not so much. But, when you're Italian, you don't really have a choice the matter. You have to spend time with them
     
    Family. I've moved tons of times in my life so I have very few long-term friends, and I feel it's very selfish of me to choose friends I have now over the people that supported me 19 years of my life.
     
    I'd really like to say friends in my case. They're the ones I enjoy being with, who listen to me without screaming my head off, and understand that my opinions matter as well as theirs. I get none of this from my parents, but they do provide me a place to stay and financial support, even if they make up for it by treating me like crap.

    So, until I find steady work, it's grudgingly the parents. Once I do get steady income, it's friends all the way.
     
    My family and I share a very deep connection, since I get so well with them. For my age, 15, I don't really care much for friends except 3 or 4....and even so, I've had best friends who came and went...never to be seen. If it were a family member who came and went, at least they come back to see me. Family doesn't change much for me...but friends do.
     
    Some of my friends are my family, and as far as actual family all I have is my mom who's health isn't that good. Technically I'd pick family over friends, but it's almost one and the same with me.
     
    I'll go with family. I don't have any friends.

    I'd pick my family for now even though I hate them a lot, since I'm only 13 and I don't have a job lol XD; I'd pick my friends after I get a job :'3
