There are many unspoken rules in friendships that girls should be wary of especially when friends with other girls It should be noted that these rules, referred to as "girl code" should never, by any means, be broken. These rules and regulations are common sense for the most part, which is something many girls seem to lack these days. Girl code is needed in order to maintain a healthy, long-lasting friendship with another girl.

For those of you who are currently wondering what "girl code" specifically means, I do not know of a standard definition. Girl code is filled with a variety of different rules and regulations.

However, in my humble opinion, I think that the most important one has to be to not play with a friend's boyfriend, ex-boyfriend, or even friend with benefits. Why? Because we all know that girlfriends last way longer than any guy that walks into your life.

Additionally, your girlfriends are the ones who will be there for you if, or when things end badly with the said boy. For example, let's say that you're talking to a guy and things feel pretty serious.

One day, this guy decides to play the "I'm scared of commitment so I'm going to just ghost her" card and he just cuts off all communication with her. Side note; boys if you're reading this, girls hate this and odds are you'll never find yourself in a relationship.

Regarding this common, but specific example, most girls catch on to this game that guys often play very quickly. A typical reaction from a good friend is automatically that we dislike this guy and our friend deserves much, much better.

Why? In all honesty, we should dislike anybody who does our friends wrong. I know I do. However, there are unfortunately some so-called friends that will view him as available and will go out of their way to get involved with them.

Ladies, please do not be this "friend." I have had this happen to me, and I'm sure many of you reading this can agree, too many times and it makes me feel shitty. Even if things do not end badly between your friend and this guy, the fact that two had any kind of intimate relationship should automatically deem him unavailable and off limits.

Sadly, it seems that this is how girls find out who is really there for them and who is not. Sometimes, it seems as if the people who we thought we knew so well didn't know the basics of being a good friend (aka girl code), and it seems as if they may not have morals at all.

In order to prevent these sorts of unnecessary situations and the drama that comes with them again, it is best that girls follow girl code.

I hope that after reading this, those of you who were wondering what girl code is have a better idea of how to treat your fellow females.
