Friend Zoned

Maybe you don't know the term? Friend Zoned means that you like someone romantically but they say (and most of us have heard this at some time or other) " I really like you ...but only as a friend"

Being friend zoned is not easy for any of the people involved.... but it doesn't have to mean the end of a friendship. Although dealing with the feelings can be hard - this is just another important skill to learn as we move through life.

Recently I came across this nice article on being 'friendzoned' on the Scarleteen website. Have a read. It may give you some ideas when working with young people around this issue
