In this essay I will discuss whether close friends or family are more important to a person. I think both are important for a happy life, but in different ways.

Some people believe that close friends are more important, because friends are the same age and share the same interests. Teenagers, for instance, often talk to their friends about problems that they can't talk about at home. Many teenagers would rather tell a secret to an honest friend than to their parents. Also, friends often understand school problems better than older people, because they live through the same things. With good friends, you can build trust quickly, and you feel less alone.

However, others argue that family will always matter more. Friends can change or move away, but a loyal relative usually stays with you for life. Family is also there when we are ill or have no money. When there is a big problem in a family, people had better talk about it and offer forgiveness, because a long argument can hurt everybody.

In conclusion, friends give us fun and support every day, but family stays with us for life. In my view, a person ought to keep strong ties with both of them, even when life is busy.
