Friends Like These

Loyalty, falling out, inclusion and navigating the complicated world of other people.

Friendship gets genuinely complicated in these years — best friends fall out, groups form and reform, loyalty gets tested, and "who's in and who's out" starts to matter in ways it didn't before. These scenarios walk through the real, messy situations kids run into with the kids they spend the most time with.

Expect conversations about what to do when you find out you were left out of something, how to handle a friend who's suddenly acting differently, what loyalty actually means when two friends don't get along, and how to tell a real friend from someone who's just around. The goal isn't a rulebook for friendship — it's practice noticing what's going on and deciding what to do about it.
