Submit a Dilemma to the Friendship Lab!
Do you see your friends often enough?
Have you fallen out, lost touch, or drifted apart from someone important?
Are you finding it hard to make new friends?
For us grown ups, friendships can be challenging.
But luckily, we know some experts!!
The Friendship Lab is company of girls aged 10–13 with big ideas, wisdom, and heaps of creativity when it comes to friendship. They are making a show where they’ll share what they’ve discovered about being a good friend, but they also want to hear from YOU!
WE NEED YOU to send us your adult friendship dilemmas and The Friendship Lab will put them under the microscope. Some of them may make it into the show, and all of them will help the development of the Friendship Lab.
You will remain anonymous but please leave your age!
