Q: Why are friendships complicated sometimes?

A: Even if you have had good times with your friends, it is also normal for friendships to change or become complicated. You can actually outgrow a friendship!

Kate and Angel have been friends since 1st grade. When Angel transferred to another school they hardly saw each other anymore. Angel started hanging out with new kids. They both felt awkward when they did get together. Angel liked being with her new school friends and Kate preferred being with other friends at her school.

Solution Resolution: Even though it felt awkward at first, the girls decided to talk about how their friendship has changed. They realized that since they go to different schools it would be tough to be as close as they were. The girls decided to respect the fact that their friendship had changed and planned to get in touch with each other in about a month.
