Friendship - A relationship between Friends
Why do Friendships get more intense in Middle School?
When you are little your friends are everything to you, and you’re sure that when you grow up it will be like that too. Not everyone's life turns out to be the same. A lot of times you and your friends grow apart. You start to discover new interests starting in middle school and you move on. Some friends try and work it out and still stay best friends but others move on to new friends. What to be careful is if you have an interest in making new friends to not ditch the old friends. It is normal for things to start to change in Middle school because you are changing. Friendship becomes more precious in Middle School for those reasons. Don’t just give up on your friend, try and work it out. But if you see that things aren't going well or the way as plan then make a fair statement that will make you feel better.
Why do friendships change between Boys and Girls in Middle School?
As a kid the normal reaction to boys is to think of them as a normal friend or you thought they were gross. When I was little there was a boy in my pre-school who I used to have play-dates with and we were best friends. As we got older our friendship was growing apart. Both of our interests had changed and now he has a different group of friends and we don’t talk anymore. Things change in Middle School. Middle School years become more challenging because you are not as focused anymore. Now you are worried about what you wear, and how you act because you want to start to attract a boys attention. Middle School starts the dating years! But don’t get to over yourself and betray your friends for a boy! No matter what, he’s not worth it your only in Middle School.
Why do Friends Betray Other Friends?
Another way for people to lose a friend is if they ditch you for another girl. This usually happens if a girl is being invited to new cliques. Don’t assume that it is your fault that they left, it goes back to growing apart. You may not still be the same anymore! A few months ago I was invited to a movie, and then a few days before the movie came out the friend had called and said that she wanted to bring someone else! I was so upset that she had just dis-invited me! I was so excited to go because we had been friends since the 2nd grade. I was so annoyed. From this I learned that you have to be careful when you choose your friend. Try and learn more about her and see if you have things in common. Those are good things to have for a strong friendship. Make sure she is a real friend and she wont hurt your feelings!
