Friend Treats Me Like a Child?

I'm a high school freshman at a new school, and made a new friend through a sport. She helped me quite a bit, as she was obviously much farther ahead of me. We know each other pretty well now, and are playing another sport together. She's one of my favorite people, but has a tendency, but as a tendency to act like I'm a small child. Is this healthy?

    She is only being a bit overprotective because you are new. Just let her know how you feel.

    Treats you like a child.... how? Does she talk down to you, or use baby talk, or pretend you are actually a little child? If it's the latter two, then no, it's not healthy. But she probably uses this as a means to communicate because she has no other method to do so. Don't judge her for it, she can't help it.

    If it's her talking down to you, then it's an arrogance/pride thing, which stems from the way she was raised. It also can't be helped, so just grin and bear it for now.

    grow a mustache, or wear a fake, you will appear much older and they will treat you in kind.
