It is more important to have a good family than to have friends. Family can always compensate for absence of friendship.

To what extend do you agree or disagree?

People want to belong to somewhere, which is a psychological requirement. For this reason, they establish a relationship with their surroundings. The first way to contact with society comes from family, which is expanding according to age. After that, humans start to have an entourage and try to set up a social circle. In these steps, some people agree that having a good family is more important than having friends. In my opinion, both of them are really important for our improvements.

Having a good family is important, so that people start their lives with their families. Firstly, it is family that prepare their children for life. For example, growing in a family who have reading habbits provides inherently this routine for children. Thus, beneficial activities are easily brought into children's lives by their parents or relatives. Secondly, being a member of a family, who have a good relationship with one other, backs person in the society more than friends can do. That is to say, having a good family encourages a person to establishing other healthy relationships.

In community, you should learn to contact with other people even if you have a good family. Having friends is the essential part of daily life. Basically, people have social interactions, which is a daily obligation. Having friendship gains different ways of obtaining excellent skills. It is not possible to learn everything from your family, somethimes you have to live alone for various necessities. For example, some people live abroad for work far away from their family or some of them have to live with foreigners for education. It does not depend on whether you have a good family or not. Some friends can be close to each other more than their family.

In a conclusion, people can choose to have either a good family in absence of friends or to have good friends. These are so complicated and vital lifestyles. Absence of friends might be perceived as a weakness, but it may be a chance, as well. All these situations have advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion, friends and family are inseparable from each other and both of them are important parts of our lives.
