FOR BI/PAN YOUTH: Friendship Advice

Bi/Pan Youth

Making friends can be a difficult process, especially at any stage of life! Sometimes you can ‘click’ with someone after one conversation, or it can take longer (days, weeks, or months) for you to see them as a friend and vice versa. Sometimes you become default friends through a friend’s-friend. There are a lot of ways you suddenly have a new person in your life! Join us in this chat to talk about friendship, what it means and looks like for you.
