Is it weird to be friends with someone 2 grades younger?

[Cicero]

My friend has gotten to be really good friends with another guy (no gay) and my friend is 2 grades higher than his friend. Is that normal? Shouldn't their be an age limit?

[Jupiter]

For friends, lol no limit. I am good friends with someone who is almost 75. And even weirder (for me at least) i'm fifteen and i have a friend who is 11. :P

[dontfiguremeout]

Nah dude. I don't see an age limit for close friendship! I've had close friendships with people 3 to 4 years older than me. Now as dating wise, I say that would be kinda max age limit in teen years, but for friendship wise, doesn't matter really the age, as long as you are friends.

[ImCoolBeans]

When I was a freshman I was friends with some seniors who were 18 when I was 14/15. I'm still friends with them and they're out of high school now. It doesn't make a really big difference, but totally depends on the person/situation. Maturity has a lot to do with it.

[Stronger]

Not weird at all, I'd had friends when I was a freshmen that were seniors, and I had some that were still in Junior High, I don't think there should be a limit.

[Jess]

With friends, no. I'm friends with teachers and I've had friends who were way younger than me

[DarkHorse4eva]

Its normal. Im 14 and i have a friend who is about 9 yrs

[Heatbomb21]

A good portion of my friends are 2+ years younger than me. I see no problem with it.

[Listed MIA]

school is just such a weird environment where its like your not allowed to be friends with anyone who is 12 months older or younger than you. like if you had a job there would be people of all different ages.

i deff do not think there should be an age limit for friends. (sometimes its kind of nice having a friend who is younger because then you get to do stuff that your not really "allowed" to do anymore, like play lego and stuff)

[chica_imperfecta]

There is no age limitation on friendship! For instance, the little girl I babysit for is 10, and she calls me her best friend! And I consider my grandma my best friend (I know she's family, so that may not count for you). But it's absolutely okay to have friends that are any age! :)

[Mollypop]

I don't see anything wrong with it.

[xXl0sth0peXx]

My best friend's 7ish years older than me. But it doesn't matter to us. I don't think there should ever be an age limit.

[Thanatos]

I coach hockey and through that have become pretty good friends with some 14-15 year olds when Im 17, and in school I was friends with a couple freshman while I was a senior

[xXJust Jump ItXx]

Haha its normal! My girlfriend is 2 grades down and im friends with 12 year old!

[gig-guy]

if youre just friends than its fine

[fairmaiden]

Nahh, I actually find younger people than me more trustable, 'cause like, if they know my secrets, the only place they will tell is Brownie Camp, so yeah.

[Martianus]

Why should there be any limit for friendship? =D That's just normal if they have something in common.

[Stryker125]

Nope. I've got plenty of friends 13-15, and some in their late 20s, early 40s

[WakaWaka]

Not at all in my opinion.

[adamchubby]

My friend has gotten to be really good friends with another guy (no gay) and my friend is 2 grades higher than his friend. Is that normal? Shouldn't their be an age limit?

Why would there be an age limit? As long as they are both nice and like each other and have things in common then its nice to be friends.

[Magenta]

One of my best friends is 22. Hell, I have some close friends from a writing group I was a part of who are like mentors to me who are old enough to be my parents. I mean, you have to be safe about it but you can be friends with just about anyone really.

[User Deleted]

Nope, perfectly fine, look at adults, the older you get the less age difference matters to you... if you realize that it doesn't matter that much early you will be happy to be friends with many various people.

[Guillermo]

No... when I was a freshman I had lots of senior friends and a few junior ones too. There's no age limit really. It's just whoever you can have a good time with, or share likes and interests with.

[DerBear]

This is a mixed kinda thing to be honest.

I find sometimes when younger people hand out with older people it is because they admire them or want to look cool by hanging about with an older person/crowd.

To define an age limit on a friendship would be stupid. Sure if a 40 year old is meeting a 12 year old for ice cream at the park, that is a little weird.

However your friendships are fine.

[Noirtier]

I don't think so, I've got friends that are 2 years older and younger than me

[Silver Fox]

Definitely not, some people who are 20+ years apart get married. So I don't think that 2 years is really much of a difference, as long as they get along, who cares? :)

[CloverGhost]

Age is no problem when it comes to friends.

[sleepyforever]

no not all only u can make it weird

[WaffleSingSong]

Nope. There is no limit. For example, I have a best friend who is 10 while im only 14. We have great time together.

While dating, yes. About 2-3 years max I say. I have a girl at my school who is also 14 and is dating someone 20+ (And she does not even know for sure, and also, she is one of the preps. (Go figure.)

[Sean4U]

NO age limit for friendship I don't think...I have friends 11 and friends that are seniors and now freshman in college....As long as you have somethings in common and are both comfortable with your friendship, go for it

[havingfun]

I'm friends with kids, I have friends my age, and I have friends in their 30's. If you get along, then age doesn't matter. Even when it comes to dating, I am open to dating girls of almost any age (but at least in their teens)

[CaliKid24]

There isnt an age limit for friends. And 2 years isnt bad anyway lol.

[workingatperfect]

It's perfectly normal. Hardly any of my friends are the same age as me. Most are at least a few years older, but I do have a couple friends who are freshman, and are 2 or 3 years younger.

[PinkFloyd]

I think it's actually good to have younger friends. Im 14 and i have a good friend thats in 3rd grade.

[Midland]

My best friend is 3 years older than me and it works fine.

[Bath]

2 grades is nothing. When I was a freshman most of my friends were sophomores/juniors/seniors. Now I'm going into senior year and a few of my friends are going into their sophomore year. My friend Gregory is 13 and I've known him his whole life. I have friends who are in their second year of college.

It all depends on how well you get along with somebody. Age doesn't define who a person is.

[LikeAJay]

no cause i have friends that are my older sisters friends

[Katzen]

Not at all.

Somehow, I hang out more and have more friends that are a grade older than me (18-19 from '90 instead of my 17 of 1994). I don't have past 20 friends, the closest are two mates born in '92 and that age difference does nothing to me. In the late teens the age gap isn't as pronounced as earlier teens and childhood. In adults much less, usually.

I know a 11 year old kid who sees me as his best friend.

Of course, the relationship depends of how you get along with them. I'm not talking about women or life with the 11 year old, and he did even want to hang out with me (cinema), but it's things that aren't adequate really; I do that with my closer aged friends.

[Sol90]

Some people have different views but go ahead.

[Christheman]

no its fine alot of my friends are two grades above me

[Foamy]

Friendship has no bounds.

[HunterSteele]

My friend has gotten to be really good friends with another guy (no gay) and my friend is 2 grades higher than his friend. Is that normal? Shouldn't their be an age limit?
Of course not. That would be ridiculous. That's like saying a black person and a white person can't be friends.

[FreeFall]

An age limit on being friends? No way. It's not weird.

[crzy15]

i have friends of all ages from 10 to 35,, and Im 15,, I learn a lot from the older ones,, and i try to be a good mentor to the younger ones,, theres nothing wrong with it

[LouBerry]

My best friend in the entire world, is two years younger than me. Then I have another best friend who is four years older than me. I don't think that there is anything wrong with it at all. We have fun and we don't really see the age difference.

[heeysamantha]

i could not believe you suggested an age limit... i think thats so.. narrow minded. be friends with whoever you want. high school is so dumb.. you guys swear like 4 years even,is that big of a deal.

[TheHumanSpirit]

I think it's silly how we spend so much energy focusing on certain criteria which ultimately end up determining whether we associate with someone or not, when if we just dropped the prerequisites and tried getting to know the person, we'd probably end up knowing a ton of amazing people rather than a select few.

[Conner Davies]

no i dont think so

[Shawnyboy]

I'm 13 and I got a 17 yr old best friend. Weird part is that we r from different states. Never met in real life. He is driving here next week.

[ColourMeScarred13]

No I definitely don't think so. One of my best friends is almost 5 grades older than me and we get on really well. There should be no age limit because we share the same interests and it's just like having someone my age. I like having a friend who's older than me because I can look up to her and turn to her for advice as she's been there. Nobody will judge you for hanging around with someone older than you, why would they? It's your choice who you chose to be friends with so don't worry about it :)

[stoneflowe96]

I think this is normal. I have friends who are some years younger or older, there is no problem.

[Manjusri]

I'd consider me and my dad friends. But he's 40-something years old.
Oops age limit sorry can't talk to you anymore dad.
