Q: Can my best friend be a boy?
A: Friendship is based on common interests, caring and trust, not whether you’re a boy or a girl. But as you get older, you may feel uncomfortable about sharing certain things. Your friendship may go through some growing pains and your parents may set new rules about your friendships with boys.
Alana and Alex have been best friends since they were little. Alana’s parents and Alex’s parents are also good friends. When middle school started, their friendship changed a little. Alana talked to her girl friends about personal stuff like getting her period and Alex talked to his guy friends about boy stuff. Both Alana and Alex are still the best of friends but Alana wonders how much her friendship will change as they get older.
Solution Resolution: Alana decides to talk with Alex about how their friendship feels different. Both Alana and Alex realize that it feels funny to talk about very personal things with each other as they get older. They promise to always be honest with each other and support each other. Alana also decides to reassure her parents that she and Alex understand that their friendship will change as they get older.
