It really does start YOUNG. My daughter is only 5, started school last year, and has been mystified and extremely hurt at least weekly by the “I’m your friend/I’m not your friend anymore” crud that goes on in her class. She just recently started making a friendship with a boy classmate (she is SO “girlie-girl” it mystifies me, but has an older brother so that helps). I’m hoping at least the little boy isn’t going to experiment with the “friendship powerplay”. I can’t really help her understand anything, as in this I was just like her, and never understood the girl social games myself.
Oh, that other kid with the dark hair is a GIRL?! This is the first I’ve heard of it! I thought it was a boy and wondered what he cared about Lizzie’s valentines.

Paula is just jealous that Elizabeth is learning to be friendly toward stuck-up Melody.

Elizabeth, grown ups have problems even more complicated than this…

Never any problems like this? Until a certain age. They say the older you get, the harder it is to make new close friends.

There’s a big difference between a best friend and an only friend.
