[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS completely shifted friend group in MS and then again in HS, reintegrating some of those ES friends that he reconnected with.

DD, however, maintained the same core of BFFs from 2nd all the way through to 12th grade (and beyond). She added an expanded circle of friends in MS mainly via band. Most of those went to another MS so a new group of band friends were added in HS, still with the same core BFFs.

I think DS's experience is more typical. [b]And while girls have the reputation for friendship drama, boys can have just as much, just looks different.[/b} [/quote]

+1 Boy drama is real.

My kid was on a snap chat this summer with a kid he played club sport with, who goes to a different HS. They made a pretty good pair on their club team.

They continued playing together in the summer, asking different guys to join them in pick up games around town. The other kid decided to switch clubs this year and wanted my kid to switch too.

My kid decided to stay with the same club, and the other kid immediately deletes my kid from the snapchat group and refuses to talk to him anymore. DS hears that he now constantly tells other that he “sucks” at his position when before he was "one of the best." :lol:

My kid, however, does not/did not care. He has better friends. But we all found it so incredibly odd.
