text: Friends can help you make better choices as well by giving advice. I always ask my friends for advice because I want to know every ones opinion. So sometimes just asking your family for advice is not enough, so that is why you ask your friends. Also getting more peoples opinions on things lets you see what the majority of people like, so if you ever want to get them anything for their birthday or other activities you know what to get them. Asking for advice is beneficial for almost everything we do, in my opinion.
