Age Is Just A Number, Right?
Okay so I have this friend who I horseback ride with and she's three years younger than me. Well, you wouldn't think that would matter because she acts more mature thatn she really is and it's almost like she keeps me in touch with my innocnet side. (at our age, 3 years is a big difference). However, every time I mention her, my best friend goes, "Ew, you're 5th grader?!" (going into 6th)So my question is is the age difference okay?

It's perfectly fine. If you're friends have a problem with it, then you should really just tell them to stop. If they don't they probably weren't real friends if they decide to not like you because of your younger friends.

yes, it's perfectly okay. and tell your best friend (who said "ew, your 5th grader?!") to SHOVE IT. when i was going into the fifth grade, i was hanging out with seventh graders and we would spend the night at each other's houses and bake muffins and stay up all night. we're still really good friends. so no, it doesn't matter. as a matter of fact, i have friends in the fifth grade and friends that are seniors. so does age matter? no, it doesn't. i think your best friend is probably thinking the whole "seniority rules" type thing, when in reality, that's a load of crap. yeah, seniority does rule as far as getting in the lunch line first and getting dismissed first, but seniority can't touch friendships.

Age is just a number. If the younger girl is a good friend who you can trust and you know won't hurt you, then who the hell cares how old she is?! Your other friend is the one ACTING like a 6th grader! Tell your friend that she needs to learn that you don't judge people by how old they are, you judge them by what kind of a person they are. So if she's never even met this girl she shouldn't be talking crap like that. She may be jealous so make sure you give her extra attention and if she keeps making fun of you and you're younger friend, tell her that she should respect that you have other friends besides her.

o please your going into 8thor 9th grade and your friend (whom i assume is your age) is going "ew" just becuase you have a friend that's younger than you are. NO it doesn't matter as long as theyre there for you and don't criticize(i know i spelled that wrong) you! if you ask me your friend's the one acting like a grade-schooler. tell him/her that. you can be friends with anyone you want.

Sounds like your best friend might just be a little jealous. You can be friends with anybody you like and have fun with. If they are younger it is not a big deal. So don't worry about the age difference. :)
