[quote=Anonymous]I've noticed some Girls can be quite cliquey.  Like for the girls they like they really like them, the ones they don't they're pretty cold.  My daughter had some on her soccer team like that.  Wouldn't pass to other girls on the team.  If they did it was a horrible pass.  A pair on her basketball team are kind of like that but not as bad.

It seems that in these situations the girls that do the "besty" thing sometimes aren't able to really interact all that well with other kids.  It's sort of a coping mechanism.  If they just hang out with this one kid, then they get their socialization and that is enough, they don't "have" to make other friends.  It's like it's a chore they "have" to make other friends.

Just an observation, bffs can be an annoying dynamic also. It just reminds me of the situation, because the soccer girls were on the same block and there was a third who was also playing soccer, but wasn't a bff. But she did have some issues also it seems not the brightest of the bunch.  They would play with third one more than the other kids on the team, at least she was familiar.[/quote]
