I felt that what these three friends expirenced is something that is happening all the time.  As you grow up you do grow apart from most of the people thay you grew up with.  A lot of times that has to do with moving or relocating to another part of town.   I like the phrase “move into to seperate worlds”  as you get older you tend to notice more and more things about your friends, the color of their skin, the way they talk, the way they act and you begin to feel that  maybe their company isn’t where you need to be.  It’s a growing fad I believe in a high schoolers world, it may not exactly be the right one but everyday when you walk the halls of any American high school your going to see the segregation of all groups.  I admire these girls for sticking together when the rest of society was telling them not to.
