We are social beings and we need to be surrounded by people that care for us. Family is the people that will always be there for you no matter what. They are your support, your friend, your confidant, the one who will always have your back. A family can be as small as two people or as large as hundreds of members. They can be our friends, but they are also our blood relatives. The members of the family may not live together, but they often keep in touch.
Family is important to us as individuals and to society as a whole.
There are many benefits of being part of a family including:
Having someone to rely on when you need help
Feeling like you belong somewhere
Being able to share things with each other
Combatting loneliness and depression.
