Why are girlfriends so important in a girl's life? No matter how much you fight, how much you're angry with them or how much you yap about them to the guys, they're irreplaceable.
In the 1st grade it's so very important that you team up with your best gal pal and fight the bully boy in class. During the high-school years when parents are being "so damn unreasonable" it's only the girlfriends who will completely agree and give you the (much-needed) support to boldly disagree (I didn't want to sound arrogant so avoided "fight" :P) with your parents.
In college, no-one better than a close girlfriend to always vouch for you when you need permission to go out and stay out late in the evening. It's mutual. The best person to talk about your crushes 'coz she's the only person in the whole world who will understand and not judge you for being so emotional and stupid (you know she has been through the same exact thing and she knows what it's like to be a 17 year old girl!). Exam trouble, bad grades, bad choices of guy friends... everything is allowed and seems manageable with girlfriends. Then comes the real relationship and all the heartaches and "serious" fights. It's practically cathartic to vent it out while on a shopping spree! ;)
I've seen girls who haven't had any close girlfriends at all and they're fine just like that! I wonder how. I can't help but feel bad for what they've missed and are missing.
Even being married does not affect the need to have girlfriends around. In fact, it makes them all the more important... "Discussing" in-laws is just one thing, there are dozens of other small things that we keep needing advice on.
I always wondered why my mother had so many friends... old and new. She took one day trips with them, she went out with them to eat, shop and sometimes had "mothers and kids" trips.
I'm getting to know slowly. To all my gal-pals... Love you!
