What are examples of self-reliant and how are you self-reliant? i need to hear from other peers, you: )

Here is an example of children being self reliant.
Most children have parents. Children are self reliant on parents until age eighteen or even later, because they rely on their parents to cook, maintain the house, pay for their food, etc.
I am self reliant sometimes on my friends because I rely on them to give me the answers for math class or to teach me.
