What does Dependency really mean?

Hey there! So let's talk about the word "dependency." When we say someone is dependent on something, it means they rely on that thing to help them or make them feel better. It's like when you rely on a friend to help you with your homework or when you rely on your favorite stuffed animal to comfort you when you're feeling sad.

But "dependency" can also mean when someone is addicted to something, like a drug or a certain type of behavior. It's kind of like when you really love eating ice cream, and you just can't stop having it, even when you know you probably shouldn't have so much. That's a type of dependency too.

So, to sum it up, "dependency" is when someone relies on something or someone a lot, whether it's for help or comfort, or because they just can't stop wanting it. It's a word that describes a strong connection or need for something. Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any questions!
