I don't know almost all of my relatives. Most of them on my mother's side don't talk to us, anymore, and I don't even know my father, never mind all of the relatives on his side. I know my aunt and uncle, and they are really nice people...

No it doesn't. I was never close with my family members, not even when I was a kid. I always thought that people who looked like you, had the same genes, were the only people who you could really call family, but I was wrong. I have...

My family has its issues. I'm not close with my brothers, likely because childhood wasn't the greatest. I have come to know my friends as family, the ones I can vent to, talk to for hours, get hugs from and know that I'm loved. My...
