I was that girl. The one that had more guy friends than I could count. I would spend every weekend hanging out with them. They were the part of high school that I look back on and think highly about.

Throughout elementary school, I had tried to be the girl with all the girl friends that would come over for sleepovers, but junior high proved that it was not for me. I tried again in high school and the same stupid stuff drove those friendships apart.

Girls are full of drama. This is not saying that all girls are this way, I have met some amazing young women as my life has progressed.

When I was in junior high, if you and one of your friends liked the same boy, it seemed as though one of you were going to be exiled from your friend group. This is why boys are so much easier to keep around. There is no competition when it comes to dating.

I know that some girls just don't understand why hanging out with guys is appealing. They think that boys are only for dating. These are also the girls that are sitting there gossiping about you behind your back. Do not let that get to you. Those guys would be there for you through anything.

My mom told me once that I had better friendships with boys for as long as she could remember. In preschool I was always the one keeping up with the boys. I was the only girl they would even play with.

Now at this point I know what you're thinking, this girl is just using this as an excuse to bash on other girls. But that is not true at all. I think all friendships are important, but everyone is different.

Other people have said that boys and girls cannot be "just friends" but that is a load of crap to me. I think it just takes a little more self control for guys and girls to be friends.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being friends with only guys, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
