Best Friends
For girls, best friends help you to feel at peace in your own skin and mind. Best Friends are loyal and consistent companions. Girls’ friendships are considered an integral part of their development and emotional lives. Fighting amongst close friends is most often associated with keeping boyfriends. Many children experience this “passionate friendship” during childhood in a similar manner to falling in love or the first time as they are validated through another person’s eyes for the first time.
