We are students of figure skating. Therefore, you may make a lot of friends at skating or you may just make a few. Either way is okay. You are here to get skate and to get better first and foremost.

Friendships are normal and fine as long as they may remain healthy, and the skating is moving forward. Friendships that prevent the skating from moving forward are not okay.

Your friends in skating are going to evolve and change as you move forward in your skating journey and as the other skaters around you grow and change. That is totally normal and healthy. Be kind and respectful towards everyone, and do not burn bridges with anyone. Just maintain a strong boundary!
