This is a piece from the Washington Post:
"Anthropologists and linguists who have studied children at play have noted that girls form bonds by telling secrets. Here too Brizendine fines "a biological reason"; "Connecting through talking activates the pleasure centers in girl's brain. Sharing secrets that have romantic and sexual implications activates those centers even more...It's a major dopamine and oxytocin rush."
This explains so much about my 6th grade girls! This explains so much about all the lessons learned about not telling secrets!

haha! so true! i was never any good at keeping secrets, sad to say. (i could will my CLOSEST girlfriends, but only maybe one or two!) it all makes sense!
What a great excuse! It's not my fault-its how I'm wired!?
I love the saying "We'll always be friends-you know too much about me to not"
I often forget the secret before I pass it on and that keeps me from getting into too much trouble!
