...Family and Friends Brenton Lumsden 11/30/2014 John Lutzyk ENGL 062 | I can’t live without a family and can’t really succeed without any friends by my side. What makes family and friends so special in our lives and what is the purpose of them? Parents also help me with my personality so that way I won’t become a terrible person. Family and friends play a big important role in people’s lives. First, nobody can deny the fact we can’t live without family and friends. I never realize how momentous a home is when I was a little boy, but when I became mature and had an indecent mind, I suddenly realize that family means everything to me. Having friends and family made me the person I am today. For example, if nobody in the world wanted to help me out then that means I would be all alone and nobody would want to be around me. Family and friends are those who help me throughout my life and care deeply for me. Second, I can always count on the members of my family. My family has been there for me ever since the day I was born and they will never leave my side no matter what. They have helped me with my problems and if I need any help I can go to my family and also my friends that I can trust. For example, when I was little they taught me the value of love, gratitude, truthfulness and self-confidence. No matter how bad things get I’m going to encounter problems in my life, but my family will always be there for me and they will stand by my side...

...important person in my life, my answer will be my family members and friends because those two relationship have ever made me happy and taken care of me. In my mind, friendship involves recognition or familiarity with another's personality. Everyone has lots of friends around the world. Even though some people might think that the friendship and kinship are similar, I think there are some difference, selectivity, topics of conversation, understanding of mistaking We have opportunity to choose someone to be my friend; however, we cannot choose my family members. Everyone has their own friends and relatives. We can choose our friends who are loyal, cordial, friendly, or kind, who have a similar personality as me, who can share our lives, thoughts, feelings, and frustrations to each other. Also, this will be unlimited to choose. However, we do not have any chance to choose our relatives. Every member is predetermined when we were born. It is possible that we cannot find someone in my family who we really want to talk when we have problems. I have a friend who has a bad relationship with her family members, even though she has a big family. She could not find someone in her family which she would like to talk, because she feels they do not know her very much. When they discuss a question, they might have a quarrel because they could not find common ideas. However, she likes to talk with her friends because she thinks her friends can understand her, they have common opinions. ...

...He uses two families the Gibbs and the Webbs, and some other characters in and imaginary town named Grover's Corner's in New Hampshire to show us this. In the three Acts he also gives us a variety of in-depth points of views on the major things that happen in the story. Through the story I feel that he has left me with one piece of Advice, " Life's too short so spend life with friends and family and caring for them." In some instances of the story he or she was to busy to stop and think if they are really spending time with their friends and family. We have 3 cases of characters in Our Town doing that, and not really caring for the friends and family. Dr.Gibbs is not very concerned where...

...bulimia are a major problem in all the word. Thousands of teenage girls are dying, and it seems like nobody cares. Where are family and friends of these girls suffering with these problems? When we care about someone with an eating disorder, we have to help that person to get rid of that problem. The purpose of this paper is to explain why family and friends should help people with anorexia and bulimia. What family and friends should do is help solve their problem, to show they care about them, and the most important stop their death. The first thing you as a friend or as a member of the family should do to help people with anorexia or bulimia is to give them solutions to their illness. Though there is no simple solution or cure, there are types of medical care, individual therapy, group therapy, and self-help group therapy helpful in their progress of recovery. A person with this illness seems not to notice her problem or does not care about it. You should convince her or give her your support to face it. The second reason for helping people with eating disorders is to show you care about them. Anorexia and bulimia cause serious depressions. Victims of anorexia and bulimia feel lonely and that nobody cares about them. The person with eating disorders needs people in her world to respond to her about things other than her weight and eating. Although a friend of a victim of anorexia or bulimia can feel frustrated, angry, scared, or even disgusted it is necessary to show another...

...father and friends. He even survives the great earthquake by his father’s side. Daily life was very difficult for the Tang people during the Gold Rush. In the book Dragonwings, by Laurence Yep, one learns the importance of friendship when you are away from your family, when you have hard times, and when you need others to be there for you. First of all, friends can be significant even as close as family. When Moon Shadow gets to know the landlady, Miss Whitlaw, he feels that she is part of the family. “I even toyed with the idea that perhaps we had been close to each other in some former life—a mother and child, even.” Moon Shadow felt really close to Miss Whitlaw, even thinking that in a former life she could have been his mother. It is obvious that friends can be as close as family and is really meaningful when you miss your family. Secondly, friends are great during hard times. During Moon Shadow’s first year in America he had to work really hard to help build the Tang’s people’s village with a strange group of men. “We were brothers: strangers in a strange land who had banded together for mutual help and protection. There were arguments, of course, but they were always worked out.” This quotation shows the benefits of friendship because they had to work and cooperate to make it through that first difficult year in America. As you can see, getting through hard times can be okay with the support of your friends. Third of all, friends will always...

When they become hungrier and hungrier they made a decision to eat a margarine stick which most people would be disgusted by, but they only did it so that they didn’t have to starve any longer. Because of this family suppressing their true identity of being poor, they always have to be paranoid about others finding out about the truth or that tax collectors will catch them, they don’t have a chance to make real friends, and they also have to go days without eating when someone could help them if they spoke up and allowed them to.

...Anorexia and Bulimia Anorexia and bulimia are not just eating disorders, they are serious diseases that carry consequential side effects, and sometimes even death. Individuals who suffer from these eating disorders can see serious effects on their health, productivity, and relationships. These diseases are at times pushed off by family and friends because it is hard to detect the severity or signs of these diseases. The signs to these diseases can often imitate other conditions that are harmless, which makes it extremely important to know all the signs. Anorexia and bulimia affect one's health, both mentally and physically. A sign that someone's mental health is being affected by anorexia or bulimia is their social behavior. A quick change in friends or family members that a person usually associates with is a sign that social behavior is changing. This may be because he/she does not want others to see or catch onto his/hers eating habits. Another sign that someone's social behavior changing is isolating themselves in a room or home, and not having contact with others they would on a normal basis. About 50% of all anorexia and bulimia sufferers have a mental anxiety disorder, such as depression. People with depression and anorexia or bulimia, may suffer from moodiness, increased irritability, loss of interest in food or sex, being awake throughout the night, and fatigue. Physical health is probably the most distinguishable sign of an eating disorder. Anorexia sufferers...

...2014 Friends Call Family] When I look at the whole picture of my life thus far, I often think there are so many times in my life that I could not have survived without my friends who I call family.
