The average age of a group of 4 friends is 36 years.
Friendships usually develop when children are around 4 years old. Building a friendship takes emotional skills, social skills and some self-control.
Crucially, the study discovered that the maximum number of 'connections' for men and women peaked around the age of 25 years old. In other words: the number of friends (or 'connections') you had at 25 is the most you will ever have and they all then steadily decrease for men and women.
Obviously, most people don't meet all of their friends during childhood and, unfortunately, not all friendships last forever. The poll found that the average friendship lasts for 17 years, however, 17 percent say they've had the same best friend for over 30 years!

Social awkwardness in childhood is the tendency to act oddly or unusually around peers or adults. The child may hide behind their mom's leg when meeting new people, avoid social situations, or seem abrasive in interactions with peers. “Kids with these issues may seem like a square peg in a round hole.

No, there's nothing wrong with or weird about kids that age being friends. I had several guy friends who were my younger brother's age (he's two years younger than me) for most of my life. One of my best friends when I was 14 was a guy almost two years younger than me.
