Cross-sex friendship

Cross-sex friendship is when two people of different sexes (for example, a boy and a girl) are friends. They can hang out, go on adventures and share secrets just like any other friends. They just happen to be a different gender! It's a great way for both boys and girls to learn about their own gender, as well as learn how similar boys and girls really are! Cross-sex friendships can also help people learn to communicate better, have more respect for each other and understand different points of view.
