[quote=Anonymous]Pretty normal at that age. Both of my boys had plenty of friends of both gender in elementary school. By 6th or 7th grade they dropped down to all-boy groups. My older son started hanging out with female friends again in 10th grade - 11th grade. First it was only group events that included couples, then by 11th grade there were plenty of platonic friends. Younger son isn't quite there yet, just started high school. Friends are still mostly boys. There are some mixed-gender groups, but it's really just a group of boys that hangs out near a group of girls if there are crushes in either direction, very little actual mixing of friends. I think the hormonal years are really hard to maintain cross-gender platonic friendships for a lot of kids. They are figuring out how to act around the other sex, and it's awkward. [/quote]
