If you really needed help, do you think your friends will be there for you?

I don't mean help as in helping you move stuff, but help as in something you'd be lost if you had to do it on your own.

this question seems to be rather vague but, ultimately, the answer is 'yes' - otherwise they wouldn't be friends would they?

They have helped me emotionaly before, but I'm not sure if they will help me with everthing. Like religion. If I am religiously lost, I'll have to forget asking him in the first place. I asked their views on religion, and got nothing.

If they were able to, yes.

There's no plural "friends" in my case but the one friend I have would support me when I need it, as I would them to the best of my ability if they needed support too.

Some of them yes and some no. Enough of them are yes that I do not feel like I'd be left with nobody if I needed someone. :3
But it's okay that some of them are "no", because it is not needed to expect everything from every friend, IMO. Different friends are good for different situations.

No they wouldn't, because I'd probably never let them know I needed them in the first place. It's something I don't seem able to do, at least most of the time. I'm OK about asking for help on relatively unimportant things, but if it really matters, I seem to have to hide my needs.
